KENOSHA How to Use bikeverywhere Thank you for purchasing bikeverywhere. You will find it to be one of the most comprehensive bike route guides available. To get the most out of your guide, follow these simple steps: Hyperlinks: Keep your Internet browser open while using this file. Hyperlinks on the Route Information and Detail Map pages will take you to the websites of points of interest and towns along the route. Click on an interesting link and go directly to the website. If you are visiting the area, check the town links on the Detail Map. Most have listings for lodging, restaurants, recreation and cultural activities. Route Profile: Gives a sense of the elevation change along the route. Routes vary from nearly flat to quite hilly and begin at different elevations, so check the scale along the left side for elevation change. A 50 foot change in elevation is approximately equal to the height of a 5 story building. For total elevation change, check “Vital Information” on the Route Information pages. Cue Sheet: If you prefer driving directions to a map, take the cue sheet with you. For loops, the directions take you in the preferred direction. For destination routes, there are two sets of directions, one for each way. Printing: After planning your route, print the pages you will need for the ride and carry them with you, preferably in a plastic bag to protect them from sweat and the elements. You can print just the pages you need by going to: File- Print. Under “Print Range,” select the option that you want. If you want to print all of the pages, you can save paper and on-the-road hassle by printing 2-sided sheets. Here’s how: 1. Go to: File-Print. 2. Under “Print Range-Subset, choose “Odd pages only.” 3. After the odd pages have printed, remove them from the printer and re-load them into the paper tray. You will have to experiment to determine whether the printed side should go up or down and whether the top should be up or down. 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2, but choose “Even pages only” in step 2. If you have chosen a destination route and expect to be on the road for multiple days, you may wish to print on waterproof paper. Here’s one link for the paper. http://www.waterproof-paper.com/ © 2007 by Doug Shidell. These materials may be reproduced for personal . use only. KENOSHA ROUTE INFORMATION Introduction: This 43-mile route offers both Lake Michigan shoreline and rural Wisconsin farmland. The stretch of road between Petrifying Springs Park and highway 50, in particular, could be miles from any city. A paved trail runs through Kenosha’s newly developed HarborPark. A paved bike trail along the lake stretches north from downtown Kenosha to Carthage College. The route passes two colleges: Carthage and the University of Wisconsin at Parkside. Points of Interest: Petrifying Springs Park offers winding trails through the woods. The Chiwaukee Prairie Nature Preserve is a grassland. The Kenosha Public Museum and the Kenosha History Center are next to the route. Primary Access Point: Petrifying Springs Park (north of Kenosha) and Bristol Woods Park. There are numerous places to park along the Kenosha lakefront. Extensions and Shortcuts: A 27 mile loop uses the Kenosha county bike trails, returning along the lake front. Between the two trails the route uses city streets. Some of the crossings on this route are busy. More Details: The only restaurants and convenience stores on this route are in Kenosha, although there are numerous others a short distance off the route, particularly around the Interstate 94 interchanges. © 2007 by Doug Shidell.
