#title Earth Day Trip to Greensboro

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.

the corner of High House Road facing South, and ends at the Amtrak
Depot in Greensboro.

** UNC Greensboro

 4. R Tate Street
 5. Arrive at University

* Return Route

I based my route on a route from the
[[http://cycling.ahands.org/greensboro-raleigh.html][Greensboro Amtrak to Raleigh Amtrak]]. 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.

** Alternative

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 *that* bad to ride on, but
I'd recommend not doing it after dark unless your bicycle is very
bright.
