Here's a 10 min clip from a segment in the NW part of IL. You'll probably want to change the quality to HD, or download so skipping around is easier.

Such an awesome video solo and some of those flat roads and views are amazing. I'd love to take a drive like that! We don't have anything like that around here in NJ unless maybe a few in PA but that looks like an awesome time man. Thanks for the video!

The good part of the route was about 250 miles of similar terrain. I'm pretty sure PA has something similar, being near the mountains and all.

For anyone curious where this road actually is, see https://goo.gl/maps/eGCPm9KwyN82 . It's called elizabeth road which then becomes massbach rd.

Post above updated with youtube link too.

Edit - my screen name is a combo of my name. First name initial followed by the first 4 letters of the last name

Yes, we'll be enjoying some challenging roads in the far NW part of the state and along the Mississippi River.

Good cruise yesterday.

Saw this guy from a distance with plenty of time to react.

Saw a few of these too - https://i.imgur.com/ko9iFRW.jpg

Other than that not much drama. We were ahead of the big rain system from late morning onward. Got spritzed on a few times but no downpours.

Here's a short clip of Scenic Ridge rd. We're heading south here.

Few more video clips, jamming to the oldies on blind corners

Speed limit on both of these segments is 55mph.

(recorded in 1080p, youtube still processing).

Hanover Rd (Hanover IL)

Blackjack Rd (out of Galena, IL)
