EVENT LOCATION DATE
Charlotte Ride-Around Charlotte, NC March 19 COMPLETED Moved to "Past Events"
Tour De Low Country Walterboro, SC. March 26 COMPLETED Moved to "Past Events"
Smokey Mtn Recumbent Rally (SMRR) Townsend TN May 16-18th. Annual event that we have been a part of since it's inception. Great rides in and around Townsend TN. The format for this year has changed to match the US Park Services availability for cycling in Cade's Cove. Rides will be Tuesday and Wednesday with Wednesday being in Cade's Cove ride. This is a "Bucket List" ride and you can make it even more exciting with a 6 mile down hill out of the cove after lunch (not for the faint of heart). They have a Facebook page if you want to keep up with the chatter. There will be some extra rides posted there if you are interested.
Tour De Turns Charlotte, NC August 27th Great fun for a cause in Charlotte, NC Did this ride last year and some think it should have been called "Tour de Hills" A lot of fun
Guard to Beach Raleigh to Wilmington, NC Sep 30-Oct 2 The ride name has changed but I am not sure what it is going to be called yet. This is a fast paced ride from the NG Armory in Raleigh to Ft Fisher. Last year we rode 85 miles on day 1 and 95 on day 2. The last day was a leisurely roll from N Wilmington to Ft Fisher 30ish miles. I wholeheartedly suggest if you are planning this ride you begin training ASAP. The hot long mileage days will take a toll on your bike and your body. A few of us will be camping at the Ft Fisher Rec Area and will stay on for a couple of days to ferry across to Southport and rest a bit. They have a web site also and I will post it on facebook as soon as I get it.
HTW 13th Annual Event Charlotte/Mint Hill, NC October 27, 28 and 29t This is our premier event of the year. We will have the cycling community in Charlotte join us for two days of riding in and around the home of HTW. Please follow our facebook page for information and let us know as soon as you can if you are an interested veteran. Registration will open June 1st for this event.
OTHER POSSIBILITIES:
4th of July Parade We do not have a particular place in mind but it would be great fun for us to get into a parade. If you have any contacts or information please forward it to us for consideration.
Face of America Gettysburg, PA This is a fund-raiser event that brings riders from Washington DC to Gettysburg, PA. Check out the web site for more information but spots are filling up rapidly.
Thermal Belt Trail Rutherfordton, NC This is a great trail that has only been opened for a short time. 14 miles of pristine pavement and picturesque little mill towns make this a very fun ride. We will ride this trail several times this year.
Falls-of-the-Neuse Trail Raleigh, NC Although this is a hike for some of us it is a very good trail system and one well worth the drive. If you are interested in setting something up here let us know.
***If you have any other rides or are interested in any of these rides feel free to contact Jerry at: honorthewarriors1@gmail.com I will consider the ride and look at the budget and get back to you. It is also important to understand that you may be asked to be responsible for local set-up and coordination if you find an event in the SE.
