VerticalGeo took the opportunity the other day to take to the streets for a 10 mile bike ride through the Illinois countryside using the recently reopened Troy-O'Fallon Road. The City of O'Fallon widened the road from a narrow two lane road to a much wider and more bike friendly path. There is substantial traffic on the new road, but the road is well-built and the wide shoulders help a bicyclist safely transit the area. We also rode on Scott-Troy Rd for a mile or so, and although the traffic was heavy the shoulders are wide there also. Here is the map of our ride as we mapped it with Google's My Tracks on our Android Phone:
