Greenway and trail are in good shape. no trees are limbs down. Some overflow at greenway ford and sidewalk below the dam but easily passable. Though not officially open, the closed section of the greenway is passable at times when there is no work being done.
Status Report
Today, I rode from Marketplace Mall to the dam, around the lake, and back in 1:13:48. Greenway is still not officially open but it has lots of riders on it during the weekend; however, construction still in progress on weekdays. Salem lake trail is still in good shape. The runners helped pack down the new dirt. Be careful of sand puddles in turns.
Status Report
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.
Status Report
Rode the entire Salem Creek Greenway today from Marketplace Mall to the dam. You can ride from the mall until you cross the under the new Salem Connector and then the greenway detours up onto the connector sidewalk and connects to the standard detour at Ram Drive. They are still working on the trail from the connector to the HWY 52 underpass.
HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT WORKING ON WEEKENDS so you are able to ride through the work zone; just don't try it on weekdays.
