TheDon,

Re: Finding a good cycling route - yeah that looks tough with where you live. I would definitely talk to your local bike shops for ideas. There may be official or unofficial trails that could get you closer to where you need to go.

If you're renting you could start looking for a more cycling friendly location. Some towns and neighborhoods are just bad for cycling and the only way to improve things is to move.

Good luck,
Tim
