E-MAIL STORY  
The Badger State Trail, which begins just south of Madison and goes 32 miles south to the Illinois state line, is perfect for riders who want to rack up some miles or for families that want to spend a quiet day together. On a recent Saturday, 10-year-old Alex O'Brien was leading the way, with his sister, Allison, 8, and parents Scott and Connie of Monroe in tow. They were riding the trail near Belleville. Riders on the Badger State Trail pause at the entrance to the Stewart Tunnel, built in 1887. The 1,200-foot tunnel is dark and spooky inside, so you'll need a light. Riders pedal past the old train station in Monticello, one of the communities on the Badger State Trail.
