Roseville à vélo

Sip, Stonearch Bridge, West River Parkway, U of M, State Fair, Lexington Ave

Go west on Lovell to Victoria and turn left. Follow Victoria over hwy. 36 past Cty B1 and around past Roselawn Cemetery. At Larpenteur make a slight jog to the right to Milton St. Follow Milton to Hoyt. Turn right at Hoyt for one block to Chatsworth. Turn left and follow Chatsworth to Como Blvd. At this point you can either take the bike path down the hill and around the lake or stay on the road down to Lexington Pkwy. Take Lexington Pkwy. around the lake and past the golf course to Horton/Como Av. Turn right and continue on Como Av. past the State Fair Grounds to the Intercampus Trailway. Turn left onto the Trailway and continue on past Energy Park Drive. At this point you can stay on the road or take the bike path. Continue on the Trailway to 25th AvSE. Turn left and continue past University Av to Delaware St. Turn left two blocks to 27th Av SE. Turn right on 27th and continue on to the Franklin Avenue Bridge. Go across the river over the Franklin Bridge. As soon as you have crossed the bridge turn left at the next stop light, 31st Ave.S. Follow 31st Av. south to E.28th Street and your destination.

I have drawn two routes here which diverge at the intersection of Front and Como Ave.  The first takes Front and is the northern route.  This route goes through a neighborhood and is generally quiet with some climbs but the north/south routes east of 35E are being resurfaced so it is kind of gravelly.    I drew the second route coming from the destination point, taking the Bruce Ventro trail through downtown St. Paul.  If you don't mind riding in traffic, 7th St E is a pretty straight shot but the traffic is high.   If you wanted to choose the more southern route that goes through downtown St. Paul, be sure to note that on the way to the destination, you would take Cedar St to E 5th St to get to 4th St E and on the return would be the mapped version of 6th St E to Minnesota St.  This is due to the one-way on those roads.
