| This is a short, 15 min. commute from the North Hills area to my office at the duck pond in Fountain City. It's also a good path for avoiding all the traffic, noise, and exhaust on Broadway. It's a fairly pleasant ride this way. |

| This is a commute I've taken from my office in Fountain City to home in the North Hills area that takes you right across the Saddle of Sharp's Ridge. It's not on any maps because you have to hike a little and toss the bike over a short fence. But it's fun and different. |

| This is my long commute to work around the far end of Sharp's Ridge. It takes me from the North Hills area, across Broadway to the far end of Sharp's Ridge, overlooking Sharps Pass, then back down into more neighborhoods north of 640. I also avoid Inskip (too much traffic on a narrow road with many blind spots) by jogging over to Coster immediately after crossing 640. There are many routs from there to Fountain City part, but this is one of them. I change it up a lot though. |

| This is a fairly strenuous ride with lots of hills, especially on the 5 mile stretch between Loves Creek and Black Oak Ridge. That said it's also a beautiful ride through the country with farms and mountains in the distance. For this map, I went ahead and included my home commute so it may be useful as a complete riding loop for someone else. |

| This combines my long east and west commutes to make a nice riding loop. It's mostly low-traffic neighborhoods, some country farm areas on the east side of town. Basically it starts by the Fountain City duck pond, goes out to Love's Creek, up onto Buffat Mill for a stretch, through some old neighborhoods, around the far end of Sharps Ridge (Sharps Pass) on the west, then back through some neighborhoods to the duck pond again. The elevation changes are mild to moderate. |

| On 10/4/08, 8 riders did this loop. We overshot two planned turns in the process (missing street signs out here). The first being S. Ridgeview North of Lutrell. We stayed n 61 instead. The second being Zachary Ridge... We took Mackey instead... Which turned out to be a very nice road! Great ride all around |

|
| This commute avoids the worst parts of crossing I-640, by using Tazwell, Old Broadway, and a little side road that by-passes the traffic bottleneck (as Old Broadway goes under the RR). The short bypass pops you out onto Broadway where you can cross over to the shopping center, cut through a breezeway and across the bridge behind the shopping center. See details. |
