The web is a rich resource about the benefits of bike trails, and the local community of cyclists and bike trails. We hope that our members and others interested in the ITS Trail will take the time to visit some of these links. Local bike trails and events are great examples of what the ITS Trail could become for our community.

We are seeking to connect this trail to the trail coming from Edwardsville.
