Bike Routes
The most popular bike routes in town all start at Capitol park and follow the Druid City Bicycle Club's Hot Hundreds markers. You have options for 23, 34, 46 and so forth up to 100 or so miles. If you are looking for other routes, here are a few that have been marked.
Marked Bike Routes
Some nice hilly bike routes have been marked, with small painted arrows on the side of the asphalt: three rides in Northport/Lake Lurleen area. These should be easy to follow even if you aren't familiar with the roads. You can start two routes from Winn Dixie on Hwy 43 and two routes from Mt Olive Baptist Church.
All turns are clearly marked with 3 sets of arrows leading up to the turn. All major intersections are marked. Usually, there's an arrow after the intersection just to reassure you that you are on the right route.
If you use these routes and have comments, corrections or suggestions, email Amelia at abaldwin@cba.ua.edu.
