<p>Sad but true...</p>
<p>i thought this would be a cool symbol, even if i only ever rode segments. Better than strapping on a pool noodle and hoping for the best! Plus, “this land is our land” so why should the rail companies just sit on it?</p>

<p>Advantages are it's exclusively for bikes, well balasted surface and it's moderately graded. Needed infrastructure like bridges and tunnels are either in place or easy to re-establish.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Terrain depends on where you are. Illinois is pretty dull on any surface.</p>

<p>So, the goal is, per the article, to eventually create a CONTINUOUS trail.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My advise to you, clp, is to not ride it. Then again, what suits your needs / preferences <em>may</em> not fit all users. I may never desire to ride it myself, but will I actively advocate AGAINST it?! No.</p>

<p>I get what you mean, although the Elroy-Sparta Trail is a bad example of boring, mainly because of the 3 railroad tunnels. But the rest of the 100 miles on the "Bike 4 Trails" across mid-Wisconsin is a bit dull.</p>
<p>But on a multi-day ride, sometimes you just want a day on consistently flat-grade trail, or not have to figure out a road route.</p>
