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

<h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
Route</h2>

<p class="first">The route starts in the middle of Morrisville/Cary on Davis Drive at
the corner of High House Road facing South, and ends at the Amtrak
Depot in Greensboro.</p>

<ol>
<li>R High House Road</li>
<li>Continue on High House - becomes Green Hill Road</li>
<li>L Lewter Shop Road @ End of Road</li>
<li>R NC-751</li>
<li>L Martha's Chapel Road</li>
<li>R Farrington Road (1008) @ Jordan Lake</li>
<li>L Lystra Road @ Light</li>
<li>L Jack Bennet Road</li>
<li>L US-15-501 @ Light</li>
<li>R Andrew's Store Road @ Shop Quick Gas Station</li>
<li>L Mann's Chapel Road</li>
<li>R Oak Hill Road</li>
<li>R Hamlet Chapel Road</li>
<li>L River Road</li>
<li>L Chicken Bridge Road (crossing Haw River)</li>
<li>R Mount Olive Church Road</li>
<li>Continue on Mount Olive - becomes Russell Road</li>
<li>L Greenhill Road</li>
<li>R Old Switchboard Road</li>
<li>R Lindley Mill Road</li>
<li>L Major Hill Road</li>
<li>Bear R Hollman Mill Road</li>
<li>L Griffin Road</li>
<li>L Snow Camp Road</li>
<li>R Sylvan School Road</li>
<li>Bear R Sylvan School Road - becomes W Greensboro Chapel
Hill Road (1005) at Pleasant Hill Church Road</li>
<li>L Alamance Church Road</li>
<li>Cross 40 and enter Greensboro</li>
<li>R Willow Road</li>
<li>L McConnel Road</li>
<li>Bear L E Washington Street</li>
<li>Arrive at Amtrak Depot</li>
</ol>

<h3><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
UNC Greensboro</h3>

<ol>
<li>Continue on E Washington Street</li>
<li>L S Spring Street</li>
<li>Bear R Spring Garden Street</li>
<li>R Tate Street</li>
<li>Arrive at University</li>
</ol>


<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
Return Route</h2>

<p class="first">I based my route on a route from the
<a href="http://cycling.ahands.org/greensboro-raleigh.html">Greensboro Amtrak to Raleigh Amtrak</a>. I had to reverse it as it was in
the wrong direction. It should be obvious how to get back to Cary or
Morrisville; simply hit whatever road in town you need from High House
Road.</p>

<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
Alternative</h3>

<p class="first">Instead of turning on Andrew's Store Road, continue on Mann's Chapel
until it hits US-15/501. If you take the left you will end up
intersection with NC54 or can go into Chapel Hill. NC54 East can be
taken all the way back to Raleigh. It isn't <em>that</em> bad to ride on, but
I'd recommend not doing it after dark unless your bicycle is very
bright.</p>

                Like the saintly tortoise and the godless hare
