Scenes of Roanoke - First Greenway Visits of ‘09

Sections: Scenes of Roanoke — Written By: Steve

I’ve been to a couple greenways so far this year. How about you?

Even with allergy season in full force I still take every opportunity possible to go for a bicycle ride on one of the area greenways. So far this year I’ve gone to the Roanoke River Greenway and Lick Run Greenway. I’ve also made an unofficial visit to the Tinker Creek Greenway by way of exploring.

(I say “unofficial” because I didn’t even know I was on the greenway until I saw the sign after traveling a little ways. Much more on that in a future post where I will show how the Roanoke River Greenway kinda connects to the Tinker Creek Greenway.)

 (5/6/09 - As an update on the above, I read a recent article in the Roanoke Times which mentioned that federal economic stimulus money will be used to officially connect the Roanoke River Greenway to the Tinker Creek Greenway. )

Here are some various photos taken from my recent greenway visits.

 Have a great Monday!
