I used to go every few months from Downtown to the Dean Clinic West, which is not far from Old Sauk and the Beltline.
Usually, I would take: *University Avenue to Babcock Drive *L on Linden to the East Campus Bike Path (the new path next to Campus Drive, with the solar lights) *then, through Shorewood Hills (following Marshall Court, various bike paths past the swimming pool, to Locust Drive) to the Blackhawk Bike Path *then, along Old Middleton Road to Stonefield Road *then L on Gammon Road to Old Sauk Road *then, finally, R on Old Sauk Road. If you have stronger legs than me, you might prefer to omit the Stonefield/Gammon leg and turn L from Old Middleton to Old Sauk. There's a hill on Old Sauk that's pretty daunting to me, with my old bike and older legs, but a lot of people on Bikies would enjoy the challenge, I'm sure. Old Sauk is definitely the way to go if you're heading eastbound. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wolfgang Licht" <[email protected]> To: "bikies danenet" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 1:47:24 PM Subject: [Bikies] route advice? downtown to Beltline/Old Sauk Hi all- My job recently moved to the corner of Old Sauk Road and the Beltline; I live on the far east side of Madison. Since my commute is already going to be at least an hour each way, I don't want to spend a lot of time dawdling on the way to work, getting lost while figuring out the best route. I was hoping I could get some advice from fellow Bikies to speed the process. I have no problem getting to downtown, but what's the fastest/safest way to get from downtown to my job? I could take University and Old Sauk most of the way, but I've heard that there are backstreet routes that avoid some of the hills and fast-moving auto traffic on Old Sauk. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
