We've ridden our tandem and I've ridden solo north from Weyland Center a number of times and every time I see that hill just past the river I'm glad there are alternatives. It looks narrow for the traffic speed, which makes the steepness more serious. However the road heading east just below that hill, Water Row I think it is called or Geezen perhaps, is really nice. Some neat historical stuff through there too, and you can ride over to Sherman's Bridge over the Sudbury and into parts of Lincoln.
