Hi all!

I'm new to this group and pretty much new to Morgantown (3 months!). I just bought a bike and would like to start biking to work. Not only will it save me $$$, but I think I'd get there faster than sitting in traffic towards the Mileground!

So, here's the question... What is the safest route for me to take from my place (Basically at Mario's Fishbowl on Richwood Ave) to Ruby Hospital?

As fast as it would be, I don't think 705 is very bike friendly. I did see someone yesterday whizzing by, but there is a gravel shoulder on 705 at the Mileground, and on the other roads there is no shoulder!

I could go the other way by the downtown University and then up the long hill and then over on Patterson (easier home than to work!)... or maybe I could mix it up and take the PRT from downtown...

Any thoughts?
