   Hello,
   
   I recently moved to the northwest suburbs of Chicago (Des Plaines area), having taken a job with Motorola. I am looking for a good route for a daily ~30 mile route. I know its almost winter, but Ive been stuck inside riding on my trainer since I moved here a couple months ago.
   
   I ride a road bike, and I like to keep a decent average speed (~25 mph). I was spoiled where I lived last, having a nice bike trail that passed very near my residence. I recently began riding along roads, but again, I was spoiled with massive shoulders on the sides of the roads, and the lack of them here, along with the density of traffic makes me pretty nervous to ride them here.
   
   To summarize, Im looked for a paved, ~30 mile loop around Motorola in Schaumburg, or somewhere near Des Plaines.
   
   Let me know if such a place exists.
   
   Thanks,
   
   -Jerod
