Jamestown NC bicycling (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point: construction, military, moving to)

Hi, thinking about moving to Jamestown. Are there good bike paths in the area?

I found this information by searching "guilford county greenways"...

The Bicentennial Greenway is an ambitious joint project of Guilford County, City of High Point, and City of Greensboro to link the communities of Greensboro, Jamestown and High Point with a paved "multiple use" walking/jogging/bicycling trail. It is envisioned that when completed, it will be a continuous trail from the Piedmont Environmental Center on High Point City Lake to Greensboro’s Country Park and Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. Construction was begun in the 1980’s, and upon completion is expected to comprise 19 miles. To date portions of the Bicentennial Greenway have been constructed both in High Point and in Greensboro. However, they are not yet linked and plans to do so are on hold. Even so, hiking or biking birders have many miles of birding opportunities available; currently completed are about 7 miles in High Point and 3.8 miles in Greensboro. The Greensboro section links with the paved Lake Brandt Greenway (2.45 miles) and an extensive network of about 35 miles of unpaved trails around the three city reservoirs.

I don't know Jamestown, but Salem Lake just east of Winston-Salem, has a wonderful trail around the lake. It's 6.95 mi., packed dirt (not single track, but mountain bike highly recommended), and a few moderate hills. Very popular for biking and walking.
