I know it has an intersection with Marigold. On the south side of Chinden, it goes up the hill and intersects with Mountain View, which is a "windy" residential street in that area. (It would be a bear to cross Chinden, I'm sure. I've approached it, the one time I rode it, after turning off Garrett onto Chinden.) It's a bit on the steep side - kinda like that short stretch of Joplin.Bikeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379272663647894409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-87261367523507868292007-05-17T12:31:00.000-06:002007-05-17T12:31:00.000-06:00Yes, I do go up Mitchell.

I used to go Garrett -> Chinden -> Joplin -> Cloverdale, but the construction has ended that for the time being.<BR/><BR/>I work in the business park across Cloverdale from HP, so I trudge up Mitchell, take the first right at the top of the hill (Skycliffe), and then wind my way through the neighborhood to Five Mile.<BR/><BR/>How do you ride from Adams to Marigold? The south-side Greenbelt?<BR/><BR/>I've not had a reason yet to ride up the Maple Grove extension, and I don't know where the Coffey Street ramp is - between Fairview and Chinden perhaps? What streets does it connect?<BR/><BR/>Apertome: Everyone has road construction, but Ada County officials seem to love it in excess...dbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527673886975332497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-2513098656867020892007-05-17T10:26:00.000-06:002007-05-17T10:26:00.000-06:00I take back what I said before about moving to Boi...I take back what I said before about moving to Boise ;)Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-20160379695619021522007-05-17T08:49:00.000-06:002007-05-17T08:49:00.000-06:00db...

(Generally not as a commute, but as an exercise and pleasure ride... or "the scenic route.") Do you ride up Mitchell St.? Lately I've been occasionally crossing through the Garrett/Chinden intersection, then riding up that new Maple Grove extension to Mountain View and through that neighborhood, either getting out on Goddard or the Glenwood hill. (The road construction at Chinden/Cloverdale/Joplin, and at MapleGrove/McMillan has me scrambling for good detours. I recently "discovered" the Coffey Street ramp, too.)Bikeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379272663647894409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-25527503023206129812007-05-16T22:49:00.000-06:002007-05-16T22:49:00.000-06:00I rode home tonight after 6, and could see that aw...I rode home tonight after 6, and could see that awful haze against the foothills. I'm surprised it's only at the "yellow" level.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, I had one of my best rides yet this year. Traffic had decreased enough by 6:15 or so that I could get across the trickiest parts of my commute without stopping at all. Even the light at Garrett and Chinden was brief!dbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527673886975332497noreply@blogger.com
