Hi, all,

I know it's short notice, but I've gotten some extra time off Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and I'd like to go on a three or so day ride with camping. I live in Chicago and am happy to drive up to two hours to wherever I'll begin the ride. I expect the most I could do a day is 70 miles, as I'd like to spend some time taking photographs and just relaxing.

I've ridden on part of the I & M trail before and really liked it. I'm happy doing some rural road riding, but I'd like to spend most of the time on trails of one kind or another, if possible.

As I'll have no one to pick me up, it would be ideal if the ride were a loop, but if scenic enough I could do a back–and-forth ride.

Thanks for any suggestions.
