From the Organizer
Make plans to participate in the "Safest Cycling Event in North Carolina!" With traffic safety at all intersections, sag support on each route, and stocked rest stops for every 10-15 miles, we want this to be a great experience for our riders. Come and be a part of this 20+ year tradition. And the best part, is the amazing food after the ride provided by Christians United of Southern Randolph County.
Help us to celebrate Christmas in July! Through this event, we raise funds to purchase essential items for local children at Christmas such as clothing, shoes, and of course, a toy or two...
