This is a cue sheet for the Bloomington North/South Bicycle Map. You can print it out for later use.
| Cumulative | Distance | Where | Notes | Direction | Elevation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0km | 0km | Shakopee/Savage/Prior Lake | Begin at the Parking Lot south of the Minnesota River for the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge. The purpose of this route is to help cyclist go North/South across Bloomington. I'm going to continue the route through Edina and St. Louis Park to bring the rider to the SW LRT trail. From there a rider should be able to hook to various other routes. | ENE | 54° | 0m |
| 0.96km | 0.96km | This is section is closed to vehicles. | ESE | 100° | 0m | |
| 1.45km | 0.49km | This section is prone to flooding in the Spring melt season. | ESE | 109° | 0m | |
| 3.23km | 1.78km | Exit the trail and gear down. Steep hill ahead and you will have no momentum since you just had to weave through a narrow gate. | E | 83° | 0m | |
| 3.45km | 0.22km | Right on Auto Club Road | SE | 115° | 0m | |
| 4.82km | 1.37km | Turn left on Hampshire Curve. This is a private road for a Condo Unit. | NNE | 3° | 0m | |
| 5.14km | 0.32km | Jump 5 feet of sidewalk between two large concrete planters, cut through the parking lot and onto the Hampshire Ave loop. | NNW | 356° | 0m | |
| 7.1km | 1.96km | Merge onto the Hyland Park bike trail at the end of the street. | NW | 305° | 0m | |
| 7.31km | 0.21km | Turn right at the T at bottom of the hill. | NNE | 2° | 0m | |

| 10.39km | 1.28km | Quick left/right jog on trail. Alternatively, you can pop onto West Bush Lake Road at this point and ride it North. It has a wide shoulder and is safe to cycle. | WNW | 285° | 0m | |
| 11.72km | 1.33km | Through the tunnel (if still on the trail) | WNW | 287° | 0m | |
| 12.02km | 0.3km | The trail continues along the West Edge of the Road, however it stops at the bottom of the hill at an uncontrolled trail crossing. I find it easiest and safest to exit the trail at Highwood and continue on road North on Bush Lake Road. (eventually the trail will extend, but to date, get off now) | SSE | 137° | 0m | |
| 12.9km | 0.88km | Left at the Light (still Bush Lake Road) | NNW | 355° | 0m | |

| 14.08km | 0.25km | Edina | Right on Cahill. Alternatively you can continue on Bush Lake Road and Ohms to West 70th, this is a light industry area. Durring working hours it has allot of commercial truck traffic. In non work hours it's as quiet as Church. | NNE | 11° | 0m |

| 18.42km | 0.45km | Left on Wyman. If you are not familiar with the Wyman bridge, this is one of the best kept secrets in Twin Cities cycling. Once I found it I started adjusting all my routes to get to this freeway crossing. It's a residential no ramp crossing of the Crosstown Expressway. | NNW | 350° | 0m | |

| 21.37km | 0.42km | Left on Interlachen. Make room for a car to get to the light sensor, bikes don't trigger it. | NNW | 326° | 0m | |
| 21.51km | 0.14km | Right on Brookside. Easy turn to miss, look for the downhill and take it. | ESE | 94° | 0m | |
