The way points of this bicycle route:
An alternative to this stretch of University Drive, which can be busy (esp. in the afternoon) is to take Pickett Rd over to Garrett Rd.
Yes, right through the ugly shopping center...
If you are going to Chapel Hill, just stay on Franklin.
Meeting place for many, many Tarwheelers (and others') rides!
After-ride refreshments and food; really nice place for sitting outside.
