Thanks for the video, currently preparing myself to do the same. haha What kind of tent are using by the way?

Nothing special, just a $100 two-person tent I found online. Brand is YangJin, looks like it's no longer available. But any cheap lightweight tent should do if you've got a sleeping pad and it's not winter. Have fun!

What did you use to plan your route? Google maps? Also, what percentage of the route was gravel? Thanks.

Yes, Google maps. My route mostly hugged the Chicago lakefront > Sheridan Road > Green Bay Trail > Robert McClory Bike Path. Some of the Green Bay Trail and most of Robert McClory Bike Path are fine gravel (easy riding, not too rocky, see 3:26-3:30 timestamp in video). Probably 40% of the ride, but don't quote me on that.
