Rode 16 miles on the A&Y Trail today. I started at the Summerfield end, rode to the other end at Golden Corral on Markland Drive, and then returned with a trip through County Park and the Guilford Battle Grounds. Lots of wet leaves on the trail means you must be careful. The Summerfield end has a lot of pressure ridges on the asphalt that makes a rough ride. Dropped the bike off at Performace Bicycle for its annual tuneup.

Within the next year, the one-mile gap between the 3-mile High Point Greenway and the 8-mile Jamestown Bicentennial Greenway will be completed. When the one-mile gap in the Greensboro section of the Bicentennial Greenway is completed, it will complete the connection to the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway and you will be able to ride trails from High Point to the Guildford Battle Ground Park (about 20 miles).
Plans are to connect the Greensboro end of the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway to downtown greenways, connect the Summerfield end of the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway to Triad Park in Kernersville, connect Triad Park to the Salem Lake Trail, and to extend the Market Place Mall end of the Salem Creek Greenway to Forsyth Technical College.
So, at some point in the future, you will be able to ride trails from Downtown Winston-Salem to downtown Greensboro or to downtown High point.
Nice ride!
I rode the Atlantic & Yadkin Trail from the Summerfield end to the Greensboro end and back today, 17 miles. The trail is in good shape, just the usual small debris from trees. It was a nice day and a nice ride. Lots of ducklings near the lakes.
