| Perhaps the silliest climb to attempt out by Lake Chatuge.
Is steep at first, then gets *incredibly* steep for a bit before "leveling"-off to a 16-percent average climb in 1.2 miles.
The lack of switchbacks is a clue to the absurdity. |

| A non-Dekalb Ave. route from Decatur's city-center. It's seven miles to near the CNN center in downtown Atlanta.
Utilizes the W. Howard/Dekalb Ave. PATH route and the long on-street bike-lane on Edgewood Ave.
And, by Atlanta standards, this is a flat route -- just over 300 feet elevation gain each way. |

| Route runs spring to fall, starting after the time change, at 6:30 from Bike South at the intersection of N. Decatur and Clairmont roads. This version cuts off the tail end (which takes East Lake to Ridgecrest to McLendon to Clifton, then toward Emory) because our house is before all that. |

| Route I rode about 100 times when I was in Michi-land. Every imaginable scenery--city stuff in Ypsi; EMU's campus cut-through; the rail-trail before Hewitt; a four-laner suburban-style jaunt past WCC; Gallup Park's serenity; A2's northside streets; hilly neighborhoods of the westside; Huron River Drive's sweet curves and water; Dexter's small-townies; farms and deer and foxes onward toward Chelsea; and then do it all in reverse.
It was a predictable two-hour-forty-minute round trip of 55 miles. |

| Tried to work out a consistent weekday (or nite) route. Here, there's a fair amount of stop-and-go until McAfee. A couple "gems" here are Porter Rd. (east) and the triple-bummer up White Oak. It's a fun route. |

| An intentionally hilly, in-town circle that weaves all over and aims for small-ring leg busters.
Highlights: Houston Mill hill; Coventry; blasting down Ormewood Ave.; Hillpine; and a hidden "gem" in Ansley Park. |

| Goes south and east from Va-Hi, and features no shortage of climbing at 2000+ feet in 33 miles. A few gems (for scenery and curves) include Brannen, Whites Mill, and Porter roads. Of the 33 miles, two would be considered at all high traffic. Otherwise, a super route with no let-up in scenery, hills, and general swervy-curvy-ness. Very few traffic lights, too. |
