Just recently moved from Chicago to the WB township area. I am a triathlete but ride road and gravel. I would love any advice on local routes for either? I would love if I can bike out my front door, but according to strava heat maps it looks like that would only allow for access to lake to lake trail. Looks great, but read that it gets boring quickly and frequently has stops/road passes. Just curious if any locals have tips, advice, routes, etc! Also, for example, looking at like commerce road to connect to proud lake, is it proper etiquette to ride the path next to the road or is riding the road still okay? TIA!
