BIKE: Looking for a safe route to route from 620 / Parmer to LCRA on Lake Austin Blvd

[Joel Sumner]

That's a pretty long way but I can give you help on part of the route.

1) Do you feel comfortable riding on Parmer?  If so, I'd take Parmer all 
the way to Amherst (just before MoPac).  Take a right on Amherst

Then take a left on Adelphi
Then a right on Waters Park (no shoulder but I never see much traffic on 
it).
It turns into Park Bend Dr when it goes under MoPac. Take a right on 
Metric and take Metric south until Rutland.
Wind through the neighborhoods to get to Peyton Gin

Head south on Ohlen Rd.  You can either cut over to Shoal Creek from 
there or head down Woodrow.

2) If you don't like Parmer, take Parmer just to Anderson Mill Road.  
Head West on AM Road until you hit 183.  At this point AMRoad gets 
knarly so head south on the US 183 access road for about 5 feet, duck 
into the gas station and head south through that strip mall parking lot 
until you hit Balcones Club Drive

Then follow this route to Jollyville which can take you to loop 360
