    The start (Greensboro Train Depot) is about 500' higher than the finish (Raleigh Train Depot), so overall the route is downhill. That said there ARE some climbs throughout, especially in the last 25 miles (east of Jordan Lake). Biggest descent: Jack Bennet Rd approaching Lake Jordan. Biggest climb: Highhouse Rd by Bond Park in Cary.

    There are few srores on this route, so traffic and roadside litter are both low (outside of Cary-Raleigh). After mile 16, it's almost 40 miles to the next store, so stock up! (There are a couple of srores just a bit off the route but, unless you know where they are, you won't find them.

    Off-route stores are at:
    • NC-62 at Alamance Ch Rd (1005)
      [*] Crawford Dairy Rd at Hamlet's Chapel Rd


  3. Alteration: If you go straight on Lewter Shop Rd, instead of turning right on Green Level Rd W, it will become Green Level School Rd which takes you past Cary's Thomas Brooks Park before rejoining Green Level Rd W. The park has water and clean resrooms.

    The Amtrak fare, one-way, with bike is about $ 16.00.
