[SDCBC] bike route question

[Jim Baross]

Great question! Good answer!

The new S.D.Regional Bicycle Map is out and available at your local 
better bike shop or to get one sent to you FOR FREE. Call 
1-800-266-6883 option 3 and give mailing instructions or visit 
www.ridelink.org and poke around for the bike map order form.

Yes, I know the map covers such a large area that they have to leave 
off most of the street names and use a font that requires me to use a 
magnifying glass... but, in conjunction with other resources like a 
Thomas Bros map, a GPS unit or this list, it does help with finding 
our way around by bike.

BTW, the route Rob described IS on the map as shown in red for Bike 
Path (though it's a sorry facsimile of a Class 1 facility) and yellow 
for "Other Suggested Route".

Ride on.
