Upcoming August Events

[Michael O'Connor]

Hi everyone,

I hope you all survived the recent tropical storm, subsequent rains and then the heat wave. I'm looking forward to the upcoming rides scheduled for Sat, Aug 16 and cookout afterwards. The 200 will start at 6am and the 110k at 8am. Weather permitting I'll be doing a preride of the 110k next Sat.

and

Let me know if you're interested in riding either and/or helping out with the event. 

Thanks Mike

I’m planning to ride the 200k that day! I’m waiting for a response from my wife regarding Labor Day availability. I’ll let you know about that day but I’m a tentative maybe. 🤣

Thanks Mike!

Ahoy-hoy! 

As long as it's not too wet, I am planning on riding the 110 on the 16th and attending the cookout. I'm looking forward to seeing Clyde's Critter Crossing.

Yeah! I'll be at BikeMS again this year. I'm with Team CBC again. Are you riding too? Or just Emily? I have considered the gravel option just for something different.

I'm interested in doing the 110k. Do y'all tend to ride these together? What's the time limit?

Hi Catherine,

I hope you can join us for the 110k ride, the time limit for it is 7 hours 20 minutes for the 71 miles. This is the total time of the ride which includes all the stopping time at the control points, usually convenience stores. Most of the time riders will stay together at the start, then depending on their climbing speed will break up on accents. We typically regroup at the control points along the way. The first control is just after the top of Jack Bennett Rd, which is one of the longer hills in the area and a good place to regroup. After that the route goes over to Bynum for a visit to a local folk artist's home that is full of primitive wooden sculpture. Then across the old Bynum bridge and up the old road and over to Pittsboro for the next control. After that is a half dozen or so rolling hills to Moncure. Then up Pea Ridge Rd towards the Jordan Lake recreational areas. There's a few more stores along the way in case you're in need of a drink or a break. 

It's a nice ride and would probably be a good introduction to Rando riding.

Thanks Mike

DC Rando Emily?  I saw her email earlier today.  Looks like a 550k, Pitt-DC.
