McKinley Bridge
|
| |
Hi, Does anyone know why the McKinley Bridge is closed to bicycles and pedestrians? It was late in the afternoon when I came upon the barricades, so I had to go around them since it was too late for the Chain of Rocks bridge to be an option.

Vadalabene Bikeway update
|
| |
Hi, I just got a call from a gentleman with the City of Alton. He was contacted by IDOT after I sent them an email from their web site.

Moonlight Ramble rip-off?
|
| |
Hi, Is it for real that the Moonlight Ramble is now $30? You have to be kidding me. The ride used to be more of an event and only cost $1 to ride. I haven't ridden in the Ramble for quite a few years because it got a bit out-of-hand with people bar-hopping along the way and getting a bit inebriated,... more »
