Bob, It looks like you live pretty close to the Rock Island trail from Toulon to Peoria. If you go a bit further north it looks like you can ride across the entire state from Moline to Chicago starting on the Hennepin and Illinois-Michigan Canal systems. If you look for bike shops near trails they will often offer shuttle services if you only want to ride one way. The reports below mentions Amtrack service. Start researching and planning and report back with your pictures from the trip!
