I was thinking about heading down and riding the Old Plank Road trail, then finding my way to the I&M trail. It'd be $5 to take the Metra electric down, then return on the Rock Island.

Plans are still pending.

I've ridden the Plank Road Trail- it's nice, totally paved and not that well used. Apparently it's only a couple miles from the end to the I&M through Joliet, which can't be that bad.

Yeah, I used to ride it when it first opened, but I've never made the connection to the other trails. Greg V. mentioned that the connection to Kankakee is complete, so that might be interesting.

You've probably already seen this, but there are some decent looking directions from OPRT to I&M here: http://oprt.org/maps/westcon.html
