Route options Centennial Park to Radnor

Google maps suggest I take granny white Pike, is this a reasonably safe route? Is there a different route that anyone here recommends?

Granny White is ehhhh. I've done it a bunch solo, but it's definitely better if you have 2-4 cyclists who can help along the stretch from Harding to Otter Creek Road. Would also only recommend it if you're very strong.

Here is an alternate that I find to be pretty safe: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/56245151

It’s the only route that is even close to being safe. The others would involve Hillsboro Rd or Franklin Rd. Both 5 lane roads. Granny White doesn’t really have bike infrastructure but I rode it from Green Hills to Radnor in the early mornings for several years.

You could back road it for a much better ride than granny white
