Are there any areas or roads that are better for cycling than others? Are there any roads that I should avoid?

Thanks for your help.
I would think it would be doable. You probably want to look south. Assuming that you work somewhere in the 161 area, 15-20 miles will get you across Keller and well into the Saginaw/Fort Worth/Watauga/North Richland Hills areas so it should pretty much depend on what you want. I know that there are organized rides through that area regularly so it should be ridable.
