Thanks for the alt route suggestion RR6, but after 15 months including two Winters, despite it's challenges, Lincoln Street works the best for me. There's just far less traffic on it and I find it pretty easy to control the traffic going up and now that I know every twist, turn, and road imperfection going down it's not really a problem to keep traffic back going down, mostly they can't even stay with me. I only make exceptions when there is fresh/falling snow on the roadway, then I'll take the straighter, longer, Lexington to Lake St going up, Lake to Lex going down (I work very near to where Lake and Lincoln meet). Also when there's snow, the speed differential between myself and the cars is a lot less to sometimes nil.
