The routes on this site are published by the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism as an aid to bicyclists. Many routes shown here are on regular state and local roads used by automobiles, trucks, buses and other motorized vehicles. The Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism in no way warrants the safety or suitability of the routes indicated on these tours for shared bicycle/motor vehicle use or for use by young and/or inexperienced riders. Bicyclists assume the risk for their own safety at all times when traveling on the routes on the BikeLouisiana web site.
Using the maps and directions
The maps included with the rides are based on parish road maps and include local roads in addition to major highways. Even so, staying on course can be a challenge since street signs are sometimes lacking. In towns, some roads on a route may not be labeled on a map, but they will be described in the directions. By using both the maps and the written directions, you will be able to follow these routes even in areas where the road signs are missing. Watch for hints in the written directions, such as “stop sign at the T-intersection,” or “right on unmarked road” to help you stay on course.
ALWAYS READ THE DIRECTIONS AHEAD OF EACH LEG OF THE TRIP SO THAT YOU WON'T MISS A TURN AND THEN WONDER WHERE YOU ARE!
