Biking
to Pro Walk/Pro Bike from Airport
If you are biking to the conference from the Dane County
Regional Airport or one of the bus stations, you may
first want to look at one or more of the maps listed
below.
One route from the airport,
the easiest to explain but not the most direct (there
are many POSSIBLE routes, of course) is to:
1.
Exit the airport on International Lane
2. Take a left onto Anderson St
3. Take Anderson St Wright St and turn
right
4. Continue on Wright St. It will cross
E. Washington Ave and become Fair Oakes Ave.
5. Take Fair Oakes Ave to the entrance
to the bike path (you will pass Milwaukee St. If you
get to Atwood Ave/Monona Drive intersection, you’ve
gone half a block too far)
6. Turn right onto the bike path. This
is the Capital City Trail…popularly called The
Isthmus Path locally. This will take you all the way
to the Monona Terrace Convention Center (warning that
there is a short portion of the route that is on-street
on low-volume residential roads, perhaps 10 blocks or
less, and then the trail picks back up.)
