40<!-- Page published by Emacs Muse begins here --><p>UNCGreen was having an Earth Day celebration a bit early (to avoid
41conflicts with final exams) on April 19, 2007. I know several people
42who attend UNCG, and I was in Morrisville at the time so I decided to
43tape my handlebars green and make the trek.</p>

102Return Route</h2>
103
104<p class="first">I based my route on a route from the
105<a href="http://cycling.ahands.org/greensboro-raleigh.html">Greensboro Amtrak to Raleigh Amtrak</a>. I had to reverse it as it was in
106the wrong direction. It should be obvious how to get back to Cary or
107Morrisville; simply hit whatever road in town you need from High House
108Road.</p>
109
110<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
111Alternative</h3>
112
113<p class="first">Instead of turning on Andrew's Store Road, continue on Mann's Chapel
114until it hits US-15/501. If you take the left you will end up
115intersection with NC54 or can go into Chapel Hill. NC54 East can be
116taken all the way back to Raleigh. It isn't <em>that</em> bad to ride on, but
117I'd recommend not doing it after dark unless your bicycle is very
118bright.</p>
