I decided to take a leisurely photo jaunt on the new 4 lane Parkway our night-time group has been riding 2 or 3 nights per week. It's very close to opening, and it will be a shame to lose such pristine cycling conditions. On this warm Sunday before a rainy cold front moves in tonight, I couldn't believe I had it all to myself. Very photo heavy with some interesting (to me anyway) looks at guardrail technology.

I didn't say nice facilities

another porta J - could have done without the rumble strips but today they were a help keeping the bike from rolling off the helmet

probably my best pics of the day


Eight bridges/overpasses makes for some nice rolling hills here in the flatlands


starting point of new construction where the existing road had ended at Hwy 58. It's very close to the NC Global Transpark where our group meets. I'm on the wrong "return to airport" side of the Parkway

Ending point at Hwy 11
