Super Cycle Route 97

A collection of 13 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

A collection of connected bike segments labeled as Route 97. Expect mostly separated cycleways with smooth asphalt and concrete, plus the odd short stretch of gravel or ground. You’ll also use some quiet streets and, occasionally, busier links—keep an eye out at junctions.

This isn’t a single point‑to‑point ride. Join anywhere, ride a quick section for errands or commuting, or string together a longer day out. Any bike will do; slick tires are fine—just roll easy on the few unpaved bits.

Tips:

  • Check your map for local detours and crossings where it shares roads.
  • If you prefer traffic‑free riding, favor the cycleway sections and skip the busy connectors.

Note: Elevation figures in the source look off, so don’t read too much into them. Overall, it’s a practical, mostly paved route collection that’s easy to dip in and out of for everyday rides or casual exploring.
