    Such a lovely place. It is huge. There two entrances btw. You can easily get lost here but it's worth it. A lot of interesting things to see and it has so much history. You see a lot of cute bunnies too. There was a spooky spot though within the woods, I think someone late at night was doing some weird ritual I dunno, maybe they cleaned up by now. But that was kinda cool stumbling upon that. Then a good old penis drawn on a tree LMAO Like I said lots to see if you go OFF trail.............

    Don't worry, I let it go on it's way.

    One of my favorite spots to go hiking; with and without the dogs. You can go off the main paths onto forest trails and never get lost. Hike along the water creeks; when the brush is cut back. (In March/April) If your a biker they have some serious bike trails. Bring your binoculars to checkout all the birds. Lots of wildlife, if you like tracking trails or finding paw tracks from raccoons, coyotes, deer, etc. Love walking by the creek to find stones, searching for arrowheads (still haven't found any, yet) or watching the frogs. Even finding snakes or finding animal bones.

    Raceway Woods is a great hiking trail. It's pet friendly, bike friendly, hike friendly and all around friendly! The main trail runs over the old race track, so you can experience all the dips and turns that the old time racers must have took. If you are a dirt bike trail rider, this place has what looked like some great paths for you to take. The trails are very well posted and the area is beautiful.

The scenery at any type of year is also beautiful. Positives: Beautiful scenery; plenty of areas to park; bathrooms available but closed due to COVID; around busy streets so you are not alone in the middle of nowhere, busy; near a hospital Negatives: It crosses a lot of streets, I know that it's not easy building bridges over every street, but it does add concern for safety; not as many spots with benches to take a seat (not a big deal); part of the path runs along a busy street, which may be a bit dangerous for some areas It's a very pretty area and I enjoyed the path.

I'm sure there are other easy entries as well -Nice long trails for the good workout/run -Decent for biking -Good markers guiding you along the trail The bad: -Most of it is out in the open. Doesn't have that enclosed forest boulevard feel -Again, since it's open, it gets unbearable to walk after 11 due to the sun and heat -Wild grass growth all over the main trail path -Markers have no distance mentioned on them. That's just sad now.. -Lot of fake white stone gravel everywhere. Just why.. I've been to some good unpaved hikes in NC and none of them have this Decent trail overall but you're better off trying to find some other place. I need that nice cool natural forest feel, like the NC trails. If you know of any such place, let me know!!

    Rare to see this kind of tree path. It's mostly sort of barren

After a couple of years however, it just starts to get friggin boring to the point I have to force myself to get out there and get my miles in. Now that the weather is finally and mercifully starting to take a turn for the better in 2019, I decided to add a new dimension to my cardio and that landed me at the door of Cycling Republic (now called Trek Algonquin, BTW). Rob could not have been a nicer and more accommodating guy to work with. As a person that has not been on a bike since probably 7th grade, I had lots of questions and he graciously took his time with me. Trek bikes are all over the map as far as price and features, so unless you are already an expert coming to a place like this is probably your best move. After narrowing down what I was looking for and taking a couple of test rides around the adjacent neighborhood, I was ready to pull the trigger. They hooked me up with a couple of accessories, made all the adjustments to the bike specific to my bod, and made sure I understood the warranty and owners manual. I was also given a certificate for a free "tune up" to be done to the bike after a year of ownership. This was one of the more pleasant customer service experiences I have had in quite some time. If you are looking to get into cycling, Rob from this store is the guy you need to be reaching out to.

    It was absolutely refreshing to visit this store today. My 12-year-old broke his bike chain. I…read morethought I could fix it myself. I was wrong. Zane and Kim were in the store. Zane said he would take it right away and fixed it in under 15 minutes. We are so grateful. Both Kim and Zane had such a lovely personalities. They were very welcoming and very professional. I know that my bike needs a good fixing/tuneup and we will definitely be back to TREK!!!

I walked in and was greeted right away. The staff is really friendly! She did an initial evaluation and then had others take a look. Well it needed more than a tune-up. The tires were shot, the gears were not switching. They gave me a list of things and I declined somethings but got the rest. I turned it in but it was busy they said and it would take 2 weeks. They would text me when ready. 2 weeks later, I did not receive a text. A week later, they called and informed me that they missed an issue at check-in and that it would take another week or so as they had to place an order. It is a good thing I have a mountain bike to train with! I received a text and went to go pick it up a couple weeks later as I just didn't have the time. When I picked up the bike, I wish they would have given me a refresher on all the things they fixed (one by one) but I could have also asked. I've ridden the bike and it is good as new. Overall, they did a good job on fixing the bike, Maybe a better checkout process and intake process so they don't miss anything.

They stayed after hours to ensure we walked away with a bike that made my son happy. All of us were very happy with the experience! Definitely recommend Mikes Bike Shop!
