Was planning a Chicago to Mississippi River trip and I might switch it from Savanna to Galena. I don't know if I've ever been to Galena before, I've been to Savanna plenty of times. This was nice, thanks!

Beautiful rides well summarized, thanks! Would it kill you to slap on a rear mudguard with some zipties or something? I love my Mudhuggers!

My recollection of riding in the Midwest was the highway overpasses was where you got any sort of elevation- had no idea there were hills in Galena (stuck too close the Chicago & its suburbs I guess) You’re making me want to back to Illinois with my bike! Nicely done video!

Cool place. Not somewhere i would have ever thought about going to ride, but those roads look great. I'm not a civil war expert, but isn't this the Galena where Grant lived after the civil war? (thank you Craig Finn).

The town gave him the house. He spent very little time there. His family was there for a little bit.

Planning a driftless cycling holiday this summer. Am planning to pick 2-3 base locations and do 3-4 rides from each base. So far I’m definitely doing Lacrosse, WI, but now think I might add Galena as a second base location. Is there a collection of gravel loops available (like the ones you guys rode)? 100k is my sweet spot for ride length. Thanks.
