[C4 Rides] Route advice needed for NCDOT

[JimRoof]

Well I will ride just about anywhere, but unless they are going to run bike specific lanes, there is no way I would want to ride 29 towards Concord. Rush hour afternoons is one big mass of cars.

They have been asking me about what I thought about certain routes they were looking to create.  One in particular was from PIneville through Uptown Charlotte, to Concord.  They have consulted with a group that is familiar with Pineville and Uptown, for the lower portion.    For the upper portion Stephen took his best guess.
