Bicycle Touring in Illinois : Thursday June 12
Average Speed: 10.7 mph Max Speed: 19.1 mph Total Riding Time: 0:30:17 Trip Mileage: 5.43 Total Mileage to Date: 986 Wake Up Time: 7:00am Leave Time: ?:00am Wrote 11:40pm Next day Friday June 13... Checked out of my hotel room on Thursday and rode my loaded bike to Doug's apartment, which is in an area called "Printer's Row." On Monday Greg had recommended that I go to the Chicagoland Bicycling Federation offices on Dearborn Street for maps and other cycling info. So I stopped there first and met some nice people who filled me in on ways to best leave the area by bike. Got to Doug's and locked the bike in the basement of his building and brought all my gear upstairs. I then left at around noon for more sightseeing and dropped three rolls of film to be developed. I even managed to buy more CDs at a record store. Got back to the apartment at around 5pm and did some laundry. Doug came in at around 8pm and we went out for dinner and got back around 11pm.

Liked the story very much.
Liked the story very much. Just started with a bike this year and have wondered about a trip like this. Quick question though. Did you only include select days in the travelouge? Would love to read about your Washjington adventure seeing as how I only live 17 miles from Anacortes.
Again liked the journey very much.
