Yup, sorta. We went from College Green Park up Dodge to Prairie du Chein to Newport to Sugar Bottom and then across MacBride to Solon. There's a bike lane from Sugar Bottom clear into Solon, with a smooth new road. Traced the route back. The route from Sugar Bottom across the Coralville Lake causeway and into North Liberty has no real shoulder and a lot of traffic...we tried that the week before and decided not to repeat. And yes, it was a game day. Arggg...town of 60,000 hosts 70,000 football fans all at once!
