Mint Hill Albemarle Rd/Wilgrove Mint Hill Rd to uptown.

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.
