I see the reservoir option avoids more roads, but adds hills. |
That's my commute, but I start around Heritage station. The recommended route is well mapped and easy to follow with not a ton of traffic. Basically keep getting back onto 5th St. and you'll be golden. The only change I make is I take another street to get down to Elbow river because the recommended route has a very steep hill which is hard for me to pedal up on the single speed. The reservoir route is ok too but it is longer and hillier (~3-4km longer I believe).
Edit: There is a bike path combined with the quiet road beside 5th St. that runs along behind Chinook. Take that and then transfer onto 5th St. at 58th Ave. until you hit the river and you won't come across much traffic.
