Take it from avid rider Anthony Pergolotti – our area is great for bike rides of every level • On a beautiful day, head out to Dairyland Road for a treat at Maple View Farm or to Saxapahaw. • Go mountain biking in Carolina North Forest. Starting from the parking lot off Seawell School Road, get lost for as long as you like on the airport or school sides. • A fun family ride idea: Ride from Carrboro to Fridays on the Front Porch at The Carolina Inn. It’s flat and easy, with bike lanes/greenways the whole way. • The good thing about an overnight is that it can be done without too much gear – and if you have a few folks, you can share the load! Start with breakfast at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro, and then head to lunch in Pittsboro. From there, grab an easily packable dinner and breakfast at Chatham Marketplace and head out to Jordan Lake for camping! The lake can get busy in the summer, so you may want to make reservations (at least 24 hours before). There are some serious hills in this route, so if you are worried about your legs to start, you may want to map an alternate path based on elevation. (You can also string together a route on the American Tobacco Trail if riding with kids!) Head back to town on Sunday and celebrate those hills with a drink, lunch or dinner in Carrboro or Chapel Hill.
