Milwaukee, Lake Front- Lake Dr.

This is by far one of the longest routes in Milwaukee and such an awesome hill to ride. This route starts at the top Lake Dr. and Lincoln Memorial Dr. I feel the best place to start this hill is right by the park entrance on Lincoln Memorial. Lake Dr. Map The best way to time out the traffic and it works for me every time, is to let traffic heading north on Lake go through, then traffic heading East from Kenwood go through, and then let the traffic heading south from lake merging to Lincoln memorial pass. After these three stages of traffic pass you should be in the clear and be able to ride it without a problem. This is a speed hill for me so at most I have maybe one or two cars pass, which is pretty ideal. Pending on the wind coming off the lake you can ride this one out for quite some time. But I usually like to hop on the sidewalk right pass Ravine Rd. A nice tuck can really propel you into some speed and really give you a taste of what some good downhill really feels like. If speed isn't your thing, this can be a nice carve down casual ride. Smooth roads, hardly any cracks, makes for quite an enjoyable ride. Wear helmets and be careful with traffic.
