The way points of this bicycle route:

Orem

Start.

Careful crossing 800 E. There is no light.

Crossing Technology Way shouldn't be to bad - it is in the Canyon View Technology Park (Businesses).

Use the Crosswalk buttons to trigger the light change at 1600 N.

Press the button in the metal post to open the gates. The gates will automatically close.

Lindon

Now entering Lindon. Careful crossing 200 S, there is no light.

Careful crossing 400 N, there is no light.

Pleasant Grove

Now Entering Pleasant Grove. Careful crossing 1500 E.

Careful crossing Nathaniel Dr, The cars have a bit of a blind corner.

Cars drive pretty fast on 200 S - be careful.

Careful crossing 500 N. There is no light.

Careful crossing 1100 N. There is no light.

Cedar Hills

Careful crossing Canyon Road. Cars drive pretty fast.

Highland

900 E is a heavy traffic road - be careful.

You will need to hop a fence here. You should see a place where it is frequently done. You will deviate from the Canal here because it goes under the golf course.

Turn left (West) to go down into the park.

Turn left (West) to get to the park exit.

Turn left (South) onto Alpine Hwy (5300 West).

Turn right (West) and get back onto the Canal Road.

Careful crossing 10400 N. The dirt road will split away from the Canal a bit - take the lower trail for a more gradual 'dip' - or take the right trail for a short downhill ride.

This is the second deviation fro the Canal as it runs under Dry Creek. Turn left (South) and follow the road a bit.

Turn right (North) at the first right hand turn. It will take you to an overlook for Dry Creek.

Head downhill to the bottom on a northerly route.

Either cross the creek and get wet, or hike uphill and go around ending up directly East of the big cement spillway.

Back at the top! Google maps does not show that there is a Smiths here.

Cross 1200 E.

Cross 11000 N - This is a major road.

Cross Triumph Blvd.

Cross Chapel Ridge Rd.

End.
