I picked Church Ave arbitrarily since I wasn't sure where exactly you're coming from. You can try any other cross street to get over to Bedford Ave, it doesn't have to be Church.

As far as staying clean, maybe we need a sticky (he he he!) here. It's a very common question.

Here you go.

Clean sweat doesn't smell, what smells is the bacteria that grows in it. The key to be smell-free after a ride is to start clean and get rid of all the sweat before it dries out, i.e changing all your clothes. This is a long ride, I suggest wearing bicycle clothing or at least something lighter. So here is what I do.

What you need to take along with you:

- a full change of clothes
- WetOnes wipes, if you don't have access to showers or large sink
- towel
- stick deodorant

Shower thoroughly before leaving, it's important! The idea is to start with clean body before the ride. Wear fresh clothes. DO NOT USE ANY DEODORANTS at this point! It will just make cleaning up messy and it won't help much anyway.

After arriving at your destination wash your hair, face and armpits. Wipe the sweat with paper towels from areas of your body that can't be washed. If you can't wash the armpits use the WetOnes. Use the WetOnes on the rest of your body including your feet then change all your clothes down to your socks. Now you can apply some some deodorant and whatever else you'd like.

I do this at work every day and I don't smell

What helps a lot to control body odor is to have a very short haircut and trim your armpit hair. You can also considering buying a pure Australian Merino wool t-shirt or jersey, they don't stink as badly as synthetics or even cotton. You can wear them several times without washing.
