Neighborhood streets over the ridge, a blast down the hill (watching out for cracking pavement!), then a country road paralleling the highway but far enough away I only get snippets of road noise. I can return the same way, or cross the railroad tracks (four times!) and take a bit busier set of roads home, with some extra scenery.

There's also an almost deserted road to a nature preserve the other side of the university. Is it worth the traffic, and how to get home, are the questions I ask when I think about that one.
