Tour de South-East Charlotte 25 mile loop

This loop is almost exclusively neighborhood streets, so it is great for families. That being said, this involves crossing a couple of roads with no crosswalk. It is perfectly doable, just maybe not during rush hour [you will never get across Fairview]. There are a couple of short, steep hills, but no real climbs to speak of. There is about a mile of dirt/gravel on the McAlpine greenway. I ride this on my road bike with 25c tires and do just fine. You just have to use your head and take it easy on the turns if you are biking on loose gravel on a road bike. Obviously, it is a loop so the start/stop line can be anywhere. If you don't live along the route, you can park a car at McAlpine Greenway Park off of Monroe road and start there.
