Come on over to the IL side and ride the MCT trail system. You can drive and park your vehicles at the Metro East park assn lot in Collinsville and hook right onto the trail. They recently paved a new section of trail apparently going to the St Clair area eventually. I'm sure this new trail isn't officially open for riding yet but many folks will be out this weekend to check it out. You can ride to Edwardsville which is a very bike friendly town. I really think we have the best trail system in the area.
