Description

A city-maintained trail to cut through town west to east. A good commute from Power to the Greenway getting real close to Palmer Park and stopping around Ute. I use this route to get from my house to various other places to ride. It is not challenging at all except for one hill that is sort of steep on the west side.

Pretty much a flat slight incline trail with lots of stop lights, good for time trials, but pretty boring other than that.
