We will be cruising down the historic American Tobacco Trail, following the same path where trains once hauled tobacco leaf through North Carolina's heartland.
We’re meeting up at the American Tobacco Trail - New Hope Church Road Crossing. This section of the trail offers a fantastic stretch of greenery and a smooth path, making it an ideal starting point for our journey. Remember to come hydrated, get those stretches in, and pack a light snack to keep your energy up while we ride.
This is a bring-your-own-bike event. If you don't have one, there are rental spots within the surrounding area.
You're responsible for your own flat repairs, but I’ll have a pump and hex keys ready at the start! There should be repair stations along the trail also.
