Rode my bicycle to work and home yesterday

The way there.

Bryant - Loring Park - Maple - Hennepin - Central - Broadway - Diagonal Trail - County C - Snelling/Hamline

The Snelling/Hamline portion was a little more exciting than I like. The shoulder is wide, but the vehicle speeds are higher than I like, and they seem to want to take the exit ramps at speed. So my return trip was a little different.

County F - Lexington - County C - Diagonal Trail - Broadway - Central - 1st - Hennepin - Maple - Loring Park - Bryant

The section over the Hennepin Bridge and on Hennepin Ave. was frustrating because a Twins game had just let out and I had to weave through drunken pedestrians and deal with stopped traffic at a couple of points.

A few missed turns and such but all in all a fairly pleasant ride.

Way-finding

Mostly Cyclopath (http://cyclopath.org/). Google maps street view and satellite view are sometimes useful for tweaking my route, and I do have a bunch of bicycling maps, but mostly I just use Cyclopath because of all of the features it has.
