"1999 EBC route to South Milwaukee. Once you get there you can find an excellent trail that goes all the way north towards Brown Deer through the city. http://www.evanstonbikeclub.org/cuesheets/cue%20sheet%20pdf/4-c-south%20milwaukee~145.pdf"

"I rode up to Milwaukee from Chicago for the first time last weekend riding mostly on the trails. Although the trails are safe and easy, they definitely slow you down. Next time I do that ride I will do it mostly on roads. "

"The trail through North Chicago and Waukegan is pretty terrible (it's more like a gravel sidewalk, than what you conventionally think of as a trail). I would recommend taking Sheridan Rd from Great Lakes Naval Base to Zion. The trail gets…"
