I tried one of the trails near my place on the way home yesterday. I don't think I'll incorporate it into the commute. It was very steep on both ends and a lot of work, even on the ebike at full assist. I'll keep looking at the trails though, there may be a shortcut that's a decent balance between hills and cutting out intersections.

    Got any rivers? They're usually nice without intersections.

    There are a couple of creeks around I could follow but none line up with the commute I'm aware of

    Even if they add ten minutes I used to prefer taking the creek for the peaceful cycling.

    If I can ride these other trails I think I'll take them anyway. They cut out some annoying intersections next to a busy road.

    And the ride yesterday was tough, but the view was beautiful once I finally got to the top. Much nicer than even suburban cycle paths to get around.
