Side Ride

Very windy today so I made a side ride and rode the Long Branch Trail and The Strollway.

From Market Place Mall, ride the Salem Creek Greenway to the Research Parkway underpass and turn right on the Long Branch Trail cutoff. At the parkway, turn right and take the sidewalk toward town. Cross Ram drive to the bike path. Ride the path to MLK Dr. It is uphill all the way from the greenway.

Turn around and ride back down the bike path to the 3rd Street path exit, At the traffic light, turn left on 3rd Street. Ride up the hill, across North Liberty Street, and down the hill.

Turn left on Town Run Lane, cross 2nd street and enter The Strollway. Ride The Strollway downhill all the way back to the Salem Creek Greenway. Turn right on the greenway and ride back to the mall.

The round trip is about 7 miles.

Greenway is okay; 2" of overflow at the ford but easy to cross.

Trail is okay; the usual rocks, roots, and ruts.

Greenway concrete ford still has a 5 foot wide overflow. Easy to cross.

Trail has normal normal conditions.

Maybe spring is finally here.

Status Report

Did the lake loop from Marketplace Mall today. Very windy; my average speed was 1 mph slower.

Everything on the greenway and trail looks good. There are still deep ruts on the marina side of the big dirt hill on the trail and there is a 5-foot wide overflow at the ford on the greenway.

The Linville Road parking lot is closed.
