The Chainlink

I came across this 60-mile route that starts at Harper College, in Palatine. Has anyone who's nearby done this route before? It's not too far from Schaumburg, so coupled with a trip to Ikea, it could make for a pretty great day. :)

Hello,

Yes I have done this and it is a nice route. Not tons of traffic. Kind of hilly also. A lot of ironmen and tri people train on Spring Creek road.
