| Day 24 will take you from the Mississippi River to the plains of Illinois. Once you leave the Mississippi flood plain, your elevation will hover between 450 and 575 feet above sea level. This is one of the easiest days on the coast-to-coast journey. There are adequate old alignments and frontage roads so you will completely avoid riding on I-70. If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies. |

| The day's journey is one of the easiest on the entire cross-country span. You will travel through one small town after another. Terre Haute in western Indiana is the largest city you will encounter. Ascents and descents are minimal and the overall elevation is constant - except for the last 16 miles which are an easy ascent. Throughout Illinois you will see many examples of brick paved sections of the abandoned National Road. If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies. |

Onroad, Intermediate, High traffic, Urban, Rural, Scenic, Touring |
| The day's journey can best be described as a long and gradual uphill ride with an overall gain in elevation of about 550 feet. Despite being located close to major cities, the 25 mile stretch between Brazil and Plainfield is very rural and there are almost no services (they all moved out to the Interstate!). You'll be using various alignment of Route 40 all day and you will completely avoid I-70. If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies. |

| Did this ride over 2 days with an overnight stop in Mannum. Route starts off through farmland heading towards the eastern escarpment of the Mount Lofty Ranges. As you get closer to Saunders Gorge there are impressive views across the hills, dry stone walls, even creeks with running water (winter 2009). If you want to ride down the gorge you should request permission from the landowners - see www.saundersgorge.com.au. A track follows the river which has not flowed now for several years. You will eventually emerge at the entrance to Saunders Gorge Sanctuary on the plain that extends across to the Murray River. The route skirts the hills until you reach the Marne River which also cuts an impressive gorge as it flows out on to the plain. The road follows the river to the Murray but we turned off towards Mannum at Black Hill. Good quality low traffic dirt roads lined with mallee take you to Pellaring Flat. The rest of the route is on sealed road. |
