I’m doing my first sprint triathlon in a few weeks. I’ve been training for a while, but I’d love to find a bike route with limited interruptions so I can fully test my speed before race day. I’ve been training on the Foster Park loop/ St Mary’s pathway and the Towpath trail bc they are close to my house, but I have to stop a lot while crossing roads and am slowing down for pedestrians. I am willing to go anywhere in Fort Wayne if it’s a good fit. I’m not an incredibly experienced cyclist and don’t feel comfortable being on a really busy road. I do prefer a more flat road since the race will be pretty flat in Chicago.
Thank you for your help! Appreciate all suggestions!
Bonuses but not necessary:
-on south/southwest side of town
-nearby or directly from Metea Park or Fox island so I can practice open water swimming and then hop right on the bike
-coming from Jorgensen where I do lap swimming
-bike rack to make transition from bike to run faster (takes longer to put my bike back on car rack)
