Pluses: Close to home in suburban Chi - McGough rd does have a lot of turns (flat, off & on camber)& speed changes for its 6 mi distance
Minuses: slow speed riding on hard packed gravel of County rd didn't add much to the ride - I'd rather start the ride directly on McGough rd
Side Note: Peplow rd has a reasonably smooth 2 mi straightaway with nothing but 1 stop sign and only crows to be disturbed...

Thanks for the ride suggestion to ViragoDan

Skip the gravel. I start or end (Usually both!!!)at Winners Circle Bar and Grill next to Sycamore Speedway. Road had to be designed by a rider. Turns are all banked. Its a blast!

McGough Road is a weird stretch of beautiful turns in the middle of farm country, near perfect road surface.

Fun quick ride. Worth hitting from both directions. Add it to a piece of a longer trip.
