Stonecrest/Ballantyne to Uptown

Routes
Anyone ride or have suggestions on routes from Stonecrest (HWY485 & Rea Rd) to Uptown?

thanks!

from potential bike commuter

Route#62

The bus ride is an hour long each way. Driving (leaving between 6 & 6:20AM) takes 20, 25 minutes. Biking is equal to or less the time on a bus. I've thought about taking Elm Street (behind Stonecrest) to 51, then 51 to Carmel, Carmel to Colony, etc. Thanks for your suggestions.

Stonecrest to Uptown

All routes are difficult at rush hour.
Rea and Colony are your best bet but the Rea section from Rt. 51 to Colony is narrow and steep.
Why don't you try to ride the bus? Rt. #62 is the express line to uptown and departures from Stonecrest. Take your bike to Stonecrest, ride the bus and them ride from the bus station to your job.
