Mountain bike ride starting at bridge that crosses interstate 85 to the abbey college. Google earth shows the exact location on map for the abbey. Belmont Abbey College is a private liberal-arts Benedictine/Catholic college located in Belmont, North Carolina, United States 15 miles (24 km) west of Charlotte. It was founded in 1876 by the Benedictine monks of Belmont Abbey. The school is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church and the Order of Saint Benedict.
That is a lovely campus. Very lush. I love places with trees, but not a lot of fussy flowerbeds. It gives a feeling of stability and peace. A good skin for the buildings, the bones of the campus. Ample size bike lanes and roads as well. What an asset to the community.
