[C4 Rides] Thursday 6PM TRG Ride Changes - Kannapolis Bike Route Feedback Needed!

[Matt Hartman]

Hi Gang,

*We are going to make some changes to the 6PM  TRG ride tonight to 
accommodate a drop-In Meeting put on by the City of Kannapolis. *

Tonight, the City of Kannapolis is having a Drop-in meeting to review 
the planned bike routes and update everyone on the changes that they are 
working on to make biking better and safer in Kannapolis.  The drop in 
is 5-7pm, at the Train Station on main Street downtown and we will be 
changing the direction of our normal Thursday bike route, and going into 
Kannapolis.

We will plan on meeting at TRG at 6 just like normal, and leaving as a 
group toward Kannapolis.  We will route past the Mall on 29, and take a 
right by the ChickFila, and cross over the road safely at the light onto 
Ridge Ave.  If we stay in a tight compact group we should have no 
problems with traffic.  We will work our way up to the meeting, 
dismount, give our feedback, and then get back on the ride.  After that, 
we will be riding the OLD Pre-Move TRG Route from a few years ago.  You 
can find it here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4593583

We will make accommodations for more or less mileage depending on the 
daylight and rider ability.

*We encourage ALL riders to attend the meeting, not just K-Town 
residents.  They are trying to be a model for other communities and we 
need to support that as much as possible. *Here are the details on the 
meeting:

    Hello, thanks for your continued interest in the Kannapolis bike
    network plan. There will be a community workshop on *Thursday, May
    1* to review and hear feedback on the proposed routes. The meeting
    is drop-in 5-7pm at the Train Station (201 S. Main St).  We are
    proposing a number of routes with the goals of 1) providing
    connections to key destinations, 2) establishing routes for
    different skill levels (linear and loops), and 3) increasing access
    to safer cycling infrastructure.

    The meeting will also include information about the proposed "road
    diet" for Loop Rd for those who were unable to attend the Feb 18
    meeting.

    If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to provide
    feedback by email, please let me know and I can send you the maps
    once they are ready. We'll also post updates on our webpage:
