On this route you get to cycle on two rail-to-trail conversions; or, as someone else put it, you get to cross over I-355 twice on those bike bridges you always drive under. We will start out by biking on the Great Western Trail to Villa Park and then will cross over and return via the Illinois Prairie Path. We will stop at the Wheaton French Market for a short time and perhaps get something to eat at that time. You may want to bring something with you in case they don't have food at this time. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Both trails are limestone.
Starting location:
We will start at Kline Creek Farm (DuPage County's version of Spring Valley in Schaumburg. It is located on County Farm Road, about 0.7 miles south of North Avenue (Route 64).
