Nice rolling bike path going from the Oakland rd bridge over 494 to Minnetonka blvd where you can catch the Northern LRT into Hopkins or go W to Victoria

This route was built to minimize interaction with traffic.  A rider comfortable mixing with high volumes of motor vehicle traffic could ride North on Baker to Pymouth to Cedar Lake Road to reach this destination. 

Hopkins Crossroad is a busier street so use caution. 

Shady Oak Rd should have a path or shoulder available. 

Although it cannot be seen in the map, there is a continuation of a bike path that cuts in the middle of the Dean Pkwys, dropping off at Cedar Lake Pkwy.

The bike lanes on 2nd Ave S run in the opposite direction of traffic.

Caution: Traffic on Hwy 101.

leaving from Dunn Bros. then south through Minnetonka, down the biggest hill in the city. Then into Eden Prairie. just for a bit. Then through Chanhassen, say hi to Randy! Then into Chaska. Dirt road #1 is about 2 miles and has some really hard packed dirt. Small rolling hills right behind the Arburitum.  Then into Victoria. Once we're through the downtown area that's when the dirt roads begin. These are pretty emllow and should be packed pretty hard. Then into Waconia. food stop is optional. Once we start going around Wconia lake there's more dirt road. This road is fun even though its short and sweet. Then it's all smooth pavement after that. Most roads will have shoulders, but the ones that don't are pretty light traffic and drivers have been curtious to me in the past.
