You mean Caulks Hill, I presume. There is a strip mall about 3 miles north on Caulks Hill and Harvester. Just ride north on Caulks Hill Rd. There is a supermarket, McDonald's and some others I can't recall. The first half mile or so is very steep and narrow, but after that it's fairly rolling, no big hills and the road widens a bit. There's also a sidewalk if you prefer.

PS: the steep, narrow part of Caulks Hill Rd isn't very busy, except southbound during the morning rush hour and northbound during the afternoon rush. After it widens out, there's quite a bit of traffic moving about 40 mph that isn't used to cyclists. However, there's enough room, or you can always ride on the sidewalk.
