Yes - our first time! We needed to go to REI so threw the mountain bikes in the Element and found the parking place off Fayetteville Rd. near 54 (Southpoint Crossing). We rode to downtown Durham and back. It will be great when it's open all the way down to New Hill. We were sorry to find that break at 54. It will be interesting to see how they manage to route it around I-40 there!

We got there around 2 pm and did the 13 miles to/from the parking lot so missed you by a couple of hours. Where do you access it from?

We had fun, but Barry doesn't like the crowds so not sure how often we'd do it since there was more "traffic" than desirable (peds, other bikes). We were surprised at the number of road crossings to stop at too. We have better riding out here where we live in rural Orange County, but it was a neat change of pace not having hills and just cruising along.

Sorry for the thread hijack....
