New Orleans
 

I'm taking a trip to New Orleans next week for a few days and wanted to take my bike to get in some training miles in the warm weather. Only problem is, I don't have a clue as to the best routes to ride, mainly to avoid traffic. I was hoping some of you that ride there every day could point me in the right direction. I'm staying at a hotel on Royal St. in the French Quarter and looking to ride at least 2 hours at a time. Thanks for your help.

How is your red light running skills? Look up Joeybike and go for a thrill ride. :D

Did you ask the folks in the Southeast Regional subforum?

No, I didn't but I will. Thanks

Yup Joey was the 1st thing that came to my mind

ride towards uptown on St Charles until you get to the levee. ride down the levee towards the Huey P Long Bridge or further. turn around and ride back.

WE rode Cycle Zydeco last year (that's over by Lafayette) . Sweet people, sweet weather, excellent food, awesome dancing/music... but the roads were a bit rough. The Crescent City might be different.

There is a nice trail from Mandeville to Abita Springs if you feel like going to the North Shore. You can have a good beer in while in Abita Springs. Don't think about crossing the lake on a bicycle!
