Ride Around Campus

#4 Ride Around Campus

This ride circles "around" the University of Iowa Campus and Manville Heights, providing a combination of trails, sidepaths, and on-street riding. The street riding will be mostly in bike lanes (Melrose Avenue and Clinton Streets) or on very low traffic streets (Normandy Drive and Myrtle Avenue). If you are still feeling a little uneasy about riding on the street, consider an early Saturday or Sunday morning ride. Bring a friend or family member along as riding in a pair or groups will help you feel more confident AND make you more visible. 
You also have the option of taking the shortened route through the health sciences campus shown in gold on the map. This is a kind of fun ride, especially if this is not a part of campus you are familiar with. Because you will be on sidewalk and shared paths, take a slower approach. Remember to yield pedestrians in these shared spaces and/or dismount on the pedestrian bridge over Riverside Drive, if necessary. 
This modified route (through campus) is just over 5 miles.
The full route is just over 6 miles.
