DAY 1
Ride in Friday and check into your vacation home for the weekend, whether you choose a lodge on the Mighty Mississippi or a secluded home in the Northwest Illinois wilderness.

Looking for something to do? Check out some of our independently owned shops, knock down a few pins at Mt. Carroll Bowling Center, or stop by some of our favorite fishing holes. Afterward, grab lunch at Mill Wheel Tavern in Milledgeville, home to a fantastic pork tenderloin as well as their famous Mill Wheel Chicken.
Spend the afternoon experiencing more of the open roads around Carroll County and let the road guide you to the famous Poopy’s, one of the largest biker destinations in the Land of Lincoln, featuring live entertainment, a full-service bar, and even an in-house tattoo parlor.
DAY 3
Spend a quiet Sunday morning sleeping in or relaxing, then unwind even more on a long ride that leads home.
