Carbondale to Centralia
Overall
Route Description
The second day of
riding from Carbondale
to
Centralia is still
a bit hilly
at first, but it quickly transitions
to flatter ground. Heading out
of Carbondale you'll start
to see more farms dotted among
forested areas, and passing through
Royalton and Sesser you'll
see several coal mines and ride
through several town that have
seen better days. Finally you'll
arrive in Centralia, an old coal
mining town itself, and home
to the "winningest" high
school boys basketball team in
the United States.
