  46 <p>UNCGreen was having an Earth Day celebration a bit early (to avoid
  47 conflicts with final exams) on April 19, 2007. I know several people
  48 who attend UNCG, and I was in Morrisville at the time so I decided to
  49 tape my handlebars green and make the trek.</p>

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

 157 &lt;tim_m&gt; what's wrong with et online?
