43 | <!-- Page published by Emacs Muse begins here --><p>UNCGreen was having an Earth Day celebration a bit early (to avoid |
44 | conflicts with final exams) on April 19, 2007. I know several people |
45 | who attend UNCG, and I was in Morrisville at the time so I decided to |
46 | tape my handlebars green and make the trek.</p> |
47 | |
48 | <h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a> |
49 | Route</h2> |
50 | |
51 | <p class="first">The route starts in the middle of Morrisville/Cary on Davis Drive at |
52 | the corner of High House Road facing South, and ends at the Amtrak |
53 | Depot in Greensboro.</p> |

84 | <li>Cross 40 and enter Greensboro</li> |
85 | <li>R Willow Road</li> |

105 | Return Route</h2> |
106 | |
107 | <p class="first">I based my route on a route from the |
108 | <a href="http://cycling.ahands.org/greensboro-raleigh.html">Greensboro Amtrak to Raleigh Amtrak</a>. I had to reverse it as it was in |
109 | the wrong direction. It should be obvious how to get back to Cary or |
110 | Morrisville; simply hit whatever road in town you need from High House |
111 | Road.</p> |
112 | |
113 | <h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a> |
114 | Alternative</h3> |
115 | |
116 | <p class="first">Instead of turning on Andrew's Store Road, continue on Mann's Chapel |
117 | until it hits US-15/501. If you take the left you will end up |
118 | intersection with NC54 or can go into Chapel Hill. NC54 East can be |
119 | taken all the way back to Raleigh. It isn't <em>that</em> bad to ride on, but |
120 | I'd recommend not doing it after dark unless your bicycle is very |
121 | bright.</p> |
