About riding in Illinois
Illinois is mostly flat to gently rolling, with the hillier terrain in the north-west and far south. Wind across open farmland is often the main challenge. Late spring through early fall is the best window, with cold winters and humid summers.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 33 miles per riding day (2 days, ~66 miles total). Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time per day |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 3h 18m |
| 12 mph | 2h 45m |
| 14 mph | 2h 21m |
| 16 mph | 2h 04m |
| 18 mph | 1h 50m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
