We should do the traditional 241, Alachua, 235, Krishna Farm, 237, 156th Ave or Dairy Farm, then either 121/34th ST or 441/43rd St going home.....the REASON.....riding at this time in the afternoon means the SUN IS RIGHT IN THE DRIVER'S EYES.  Unfortunately many cyclists have either critically injured or killed because drivers don't see us.  As such a case with the bike shop owner story that was posted recently.  NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!  The loop I posted above is about 29 miles. 

What do you guys think?  Riding on 94th or 78th is not so safe in the afternoon heading westbound.
