The Gateway Loop


Over the last year, the Durham Economic Committee discussed downtown redevelopment, land conservation, agriculture, and housing. The goal has been to find a way for the pieces to complement each other and help achieve the vision of the town's master plan. As I was out riding my bike recently, I thought a field trip through a loop of Durham, Newmarket, and Lee could help provide some context to future conversations. The Gateway Loop is about 21 miles and, in my humble opinion, is best experienced on a bike. If that is not your cup of tea, it also makes for a great Sunday morning drive.
