Lagunitas Route

Does anyone have a "nice" route from Downtown to the Lagunitas Brewery? By "nice" I mean bike lanes, minimal traffic, interesting waypoints, etc. Heavily trafficked streets and deplorable road conditions in viaducts have me wondering.

I need this for a group of Seniors (65+) to ride at an average speed of 10 mph.

Glad you worked it out (couldn't tell if you ever saw my post?) but you might try 15th street on the way back for the BNSF underpass-- it's much less hectic than 16th and it's newly paved/smooth as butter. I personally get scared through that underpass on 16th-- trucks, buses, aggressive drivers who think they have the "smart" shortcut across that area, and people on foot (guards and such) standing in all the wrong places.

We have a path that suits our needs in most cases. We take 18th street to where it ends at Western Avenue. There is an underpass with a sidewalk that can safely take our group on a sidewalk to 16th Street where there is a light and can cross Western. 16th takes us to Lagunitas. On the return we have used Ogden and Roosevelt -- both with bike lanes and and traffic without complaints. We do tweak the repute a bit to go by interesting places such as museums, public art, etc.

Everyone loves Lagunitas for the food, ambience and the beer.
