Flying into the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)

If you are flying to North Carolina for this year's Mountains to Coast Ride, it is recommended that you fly into the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and plan to take the bus transportation option from Raleigh-Durham to the start of the ride. This transportation option leaves at 10am on Saturday, October 4 so it is suggested that you arrive at RDU by the evening of Friday, October 3.  Cycle NC will partner with a host hotel that will is convenient to the bus loading area as well.  That hotel will be announced and posted here when finalized.

For those that purchase a seat on the bus to the start of the ride, that bus will depart from Raleigh-Durham on Saturday morning.  Check-in will begin at 9am and the bus will leave at 10am. Included with the purchase of this transportation option is the transportation of your bike as well. All bikes will be loaded on a CNC Bike Transport Truck and taken to the start of the ride. 

Anyone choosing to fly into airports other than RDU must make their own arrangements to get to the start of the ride.
