Nov 4 Greensboro Greenway
Bicyclists in Greensboro have a very nice greenway to ride on. I don't know its official name. I've been referring to it as the A&Y, but others use its previous name. Today I'm calling it the "Greensboro Greenway" since our route included 3 or 4 named trails. A&Y refers to the former railroad in its final incarnation, Atlantic and Yadkin. The trail follows its former bed. Current plans are to continue extending the route at both ends. Surprisingly, this is still a viable and ongoing project.
Today I rode from the Lewis Recreation Center to Bur-Mil Park to meet with other PHOC riders. We rode to the end of the trail and saw where the construction under Rt 220 was proceeding. Turning around we traveled back to Bur-Mil, picked up additional riders, continued on to do the Battleground Loop, then the Country Day Loop and finally all the way to the end of the trail near Staples on Lanwndale. That last section included the pricey Cone Blvd underpass seen above.
