Hey all you riders in Chicagoland up into Wisconsin: Send me any routes (maps and/or cue sheets) you have in any electronic text format - I'm putting together a Rideable Roads map in Microsoft Streets & Trips. So far I've got most good roads from Yorkville West to Newark/Earlville, North up to and around Rockford (including Stillman Valley/Oregon), up to Darien, Wisconsin, East over to Silver Lake, Wisconsin, back down through Crystal Lake to Aurora.

I've been through most area club websites that post routes, plus I input some of the invitational ride maps I could locate. I'll be glad to share it when it's finished.

Probably a bit of redundancy for Wisconsin. We've got these maps (http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/bike-foot/countymaps.htm) from our DNR which are really fairly accurate in terms of riding conditions.

You might find access to other Wisconsin maps here (http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/bike-foot/bikemaps.htm).

Thanks for a great link, Sage. I wish Illinois had it together like Wisconsin. We can order hard copy maps (often out of stock) for 6 regions, but my experience is they don't have all the roads in the detail required, plus it's difficult translating the maps into usable cue sheets.
