Hi everyone,
I added a few more events to the Raleigh area calendar.
The first is a Dart Populaire on July 18th. Start time TBD, routes are being worked on now and there should be a few teams. I'll probably be one of the ride captains and at the moment I'm leaning towards the Cary route. The dart will count towards a P-12 if you're working on that.
The tentative routes can be found here.

https://raleighrando.web.unc.edu/185-2/Sept 26 - 200k - Same route as was done in March, Morrisville to Siler City and return. 6330 feet of climbing
Oct 24 - 300k - Same route as Apr 18, Morrisville to Siler City, Seagrove and return. 8000 feet of climbing.
While these are not 2027 PBP qualifying rides, they will help riders secure pre-registration slots based on their longest completed ride this year, 2026.
I'll be updating the website in the next day or two for the 200/300k.
Best, Mike O
