This is yet another companion thread to "Can vehicular cyclists choose a more mellow route" in the VC sub forum.

I’ll start with this:

Which I will describe as a route where the down hills are worth the up hills. I actually gain time on this route because of the down hills and I avoid the traffic nightmare around Druid Hill Park.
