May 12 American Tobacco Trail bicycle outing


I led this small PHOC outing on the ATT for a nice 27 mile round trip from New Hill. Weather was delightful. The big news about the ATT is the new bridge over I-40. The structure was brought on-site in 6 pieces. Traffic was re-routed one evening in April so the structure could be placed over the road. There is still a bit of work to be done. Triangle Trails is planning an August grand opening. We'll be watching for this. The route over the highway will connect the lower 13.5 miles with the 7 mile paved section to downtown Durham. Right at the I-40 bridge is South Pointe Mall, a large shopping attraction.


During our ride, we met this couple. He bikes, she bicycles. When she is finished, he picks her up on this Motorcycle trailer with a bicycle rack. For refreshments, they have the cooler attachment as well.
