The Best 100 Miles

What would experienced riders recommend as the best 100 or so mile stretch (i.e. 200 miles round trip)?

If you are going to do 200 miles, you should consider just doing the whole trail end to end.

The above comment is viable and worth consideration. Go west to east with an end in St. Charles and then shuttle back to the start in Clinton.
If I had to do your best 100, I'd stretch it out to a 120 and do Rocheport to Defiance and figure that I didn't miss much.

If you are coming from Chicago, I'd park in Washington, take the train to Sedalia, and ride back to Washington.

Bob, you may know but the Lakefront, North Branch and Des Plaines River trails will get you about 100+ out and back and save you at least $200 in gas money.
