Routes
I go to Gateway plaza - entire route is around 16 miles or so.
I've been riding this route for a while so let me know what you think. I've tried to minimize traffic Start out on Wilgrove Mint Hill RD facing Albemarle LT onto albemarle immediate Right onto guice crossing (you'll cross the RR tracks) LT onto Parkton Rd (you will parallel albemarle on this) bear left at the fork (still on parkton) RT onto Harrisburg Rd LT onto Pence RD (after maybe 1/4 mile) (Pence RD has a good bike lane on it) Cross over Harris Blvd onto Hickory Grove Rd (this is a busy Rd but has a real good bike lane) LT onto Craigwood (this is after you go under the big powerlines) LT onto Beiderbeck Dr. RT onto Prestwick LT onto Butterwick RT onto Verndale LT onto Sharon Amity (this is the worst part of the ride but I've been unable to avoid a short stretch on Sharon Amity) RT onto Sudbury RT onto Enfield RT onto Kilbourne Cross over Eastway - stay on Kilbourne LT onto Dunlavin Way RT onto Country Club Dr. LT onto Matheson RT onto Country Club Dr. Merge into Mecklenburg Ave. LT onto the Plaza RT onto Belvedere LT onto Thomas RT onto Kennon LT onto Pegram RT onto 18th St. LT onto Seigle RT onto 10th. Go under freeway on 10th. At the stoplight you can go straight across onto the walkway and up into the condo area. at this point you are into the uptown area proper. I typically take 8th or 9th up to pine (cutting through fountain areas) to get to gateway plaza. Hope this helps anyone thinking about riding out there. Jim |
