Interesting contrast of Illinois, I can be in Mattoon in a little over 2 hours and yet I can't see over a couple hundred feet anywhere around here. 600 foot hills are the norm.

You should train for a century, and then ride to Urbana for a fish sandwich and a beer at Legends and then ride back home

Southern Illinois has some beautiful countryside (as does southern Indiana, and probably most of the Ohio Valley for that matter). One of my almas mater is SIU-C.

A fish sandwich and a beer at Legends is fine, but not quite as good as when it was Deluxe Lunch.
