SW Chicago Suburbs (Bolingbrook, IL) path rides

[Russ]

Hi all,

I recently picked up a Specialized Elite comfort bike and have been looking
around for which good routes and paths to take. I see that I can get on the
Centennial path in Romeoville pretty easily and that looks fun (although I
don't know if the whole 19 mile path is complete) and the Prarie Path can be
accessed in Naperville or Warrenville.

Anyone have any other suggestions for good riding in this area?

Thanks
Russ

P.S. Not sure if this is an appropriate post for rec.bicycle.misc, so I'm
just posting here.

Check out this site for Illinois bike paths:
http://www.mikebentley.com/bike/illpaths.htm

Then at http://www.bikelib.org/roads/maps.htm#idot you can order free
Illinois bicycle maps. You can even get to a site from there where you can
view these maps online and print them if you will. These maps rank roads
based on suitability for cycling.

The CBF map isn't free, but it is a lot better for the Chicago area than the
Illinois maps.
