The way points of this bicycle route:

Fountain Square Park

Left turn on College Street

right turn on 13th Street

Left turn on Center Street

Right turn on 13th Street

Cross Over Kentucky Street (careful here)

Cross Over Adams Street

Cross over railroad track

Careful at crossroads! You have the right of way, but cars don't always obey the stop signs here!

Right On Fair Street

Left On Glen Lily Road (Hwy 2665)

Danger! Very fast moving traffic. Be careful crossing over this intersection.

Right turn on Basham Road

Be sure to look behind you at the top of the hill for a great view of the city

Left at Stop Sign. You get to go downhill for a bit!

Fun Downhill, be careful of the curve at the end.

Now a slow climb back up for a mile or two

Turn right (Hwy 2665) and cross over the bridge and get ready for Hill #2!

It ain't as bad as it looks!

better gear down

you're ready for this to be over, right?

Continue to the right. You get to rest for a bit now.

An award winning bridge. You can climb down over the side and read the plaque in the rock at the bottom if you want.

Left on Barren River Road (Hwy 1435)

Turn Right on Jenkins Road (at the Fire Dept Bldg)

Enjoy this downhill stretch. Watch out for dogs, though.

As you fly down these lovely hills, try not to think of the payback that awaits you.

fun fun!

Hope you're rested from that downhill

Here it comes

Remember that really NICE downhill? It's payback time. Meet the Twisty Beast

No, your brakes are NOT rubbing your rims. This is a HILL, son!

Hard climb, but pretty, eh?

Ok, time to rest again.

Turn Right on Barren River Road (Hwy 1435)

fun downhill coming up. Be careful of blind curves, though.

Whee!

Gear down! After that bridge is a 20% grade!!!!

That 13% grade looks easy, doesn't it? It isn't.

Continue to the right after you catch your breath. If you turn left, you can shorten this ride by 5 miles. Turning right? More hills, of course, but also a slice of heaven known as Clifty Hollow

Left on Clifty Hollow Road (CAREFUL - Limited Sight Distance - Go Slow and LIVE!)

Argueably one of the prettiest spots in Warren County. Go through it twice just because.

Turn Right and Cross Over Bridge

Turn Left on Jackson Bridge Road

Turn Right on Hammett Hill Road (yes, another HILL)

Left on Clarence O'Dell Road

Left on Hammett Hill Road

Outrageous Downhill! Let 'er RIP. No surprises, smooth roads, 45+ possible. Have fun!

Seriously, wasn't that fun? Take a right on 231 (Morgantown Road) to head back into the city.

After crossing over the parkway, take a left onto Willoughby lane (right before the mosque)

turn right onto Glen Lily road. This will take you all the way back into town.

Left Turn on Stubbins Street

Right Turn on 12th Street

Left Turn on Clay Street (Carefuly here, traffic signals are apparently an afterthought here)

Right turn and cross over railroad tracks

Left Turn on Center STreet

Right Turn on 10th Avenue. Ain't the courthouse impressive? In the summertime, you can cool off in the spray from the fountain.

Left Turn on State Street. That church on your left, The Presbyterian Church, has the very last Aeolian Skinner pipe organ ever built in this country, and one of a handful of tracker instruments by that company.

Left On Main
