The Cycle NC Coastal Ride provides route opportunities for riders new to the sport and those that have logged more miles than you can count. Our Host Towns provide us with the opportunity to offer various routes throughout the area utilizing flat roads with minimal traffic counts. Multiple route options will be offered each day ranging anywhere from 5 miles all the way up to 80 miles with a 100 mile route option offered on Saturday. Routes will start and finish from the same location.
All routes are fully supported with rest stops, Support And Gear vehicles (SAG’s), and bike mechanics. The rest stops or aid stations, feature FREE snacks, energy bars, assorted drinks, water, PB&J sandwiches, restrooms and an opportunity to dismount, stretch and explore the area.
