If anyone uses google earth, GPS or one of the zoomed in weather maps I thought I would post the cruise route we will be taking.
We will ride north out of London Mills across the Spoon River on County Highway 39. (Our county highways are basicly just low traffic blacktops) Turn Right at "T" onto Bridgeport Rd. Then a Left onto Knox RD 1000E. We will then make a Left turn onto Knox Rd 380N(This area is the highest point in Knox County and offers a nice view). We will then make a Right turn onto Knox Rd 900E. We will follow this until we come to Knox County Highway 20 going East. We will stay on Knox County Highway 20 until we reach the village of Maquon(There is a gas station here with restrooms/snacks and gas) At this point we are about 15 miles or so from our starting destination.
Once we have stretched our legs we will continue back to Knox County Hwy 20 going North and then East out of Maquon. We will continue on Knox County Highway 20 until we bear onto Knox Rd 650N. We will follow that east until we come to Knox Road 1800E. We will follow that North and then take a Left turn onto Knox County Highway 17. We will follow this west until we come to the Spoon River and the Wolf Covered Bridge that crosses it. At this point we will be around 25 miles from where we started. After some photos, stretching and gabbing we can either venture back the way we came or we can venture forward and take a new route back to our starting point.
Should be a real enjoyable ride so long as the weather cooperates. The route we are taking is all quiet blacktop and we should see minimal traffic along the way.
