The West Bike Loop is one of Woodland's officially designated bicycling routes that has continuous bike lanes throughout its length. This 7.5-mile loop will take you most of the way around the perimeter of northwestern, southwestern, northern, and southern Woodland. It is bisected by the Crosstown Bike Connector, which can be used to divide the West Bike Loop into a 4.5-mile Southwest Bike Loop or a 5.6-mile Northwest Bike Loop, or to extend your bike ride out to the East Bike Loop. The sections of the West Bike Loop route are as follows:

  1. From The Bike Garage, head north on 1st Street until Clover Street. Note that the block of 1st Street between Marshall Avenue and Bartlett Avenue is a point of overlap with the Crosstown Bike Connector.
  2. Cross Clover Street and head east on it until 3rd Street.

Along the way, the intersection of Ashley Avenue and West Southwood Drive (the southwest corner of John Ferns Park) is a point of intersection with the Crosstown Bike Connector. (You'll also pass by Ralph Harris Park, Streng Park, and Dave Douglass Park.)
