Early morning riding routes

[Shawn Gossman]

What are your favorite early morning cycling routes in Southern Illinois?

Why do you like these routes? Are they less traveled by cars? Scenic? A mix?

Gravel and chip & seal roads up here in Franklin and Jefferson counties are pretty clear pretty much all of the time.

How early do you usually get out on them?

In summer, I usually start riding around 7:00 before it gets too hot. This time of the year I usually don’t ride until about noon on the days it’s warm enough to ride.

Being retired gives me a lot of flexibility on timing.
