General:
The biggest change is the actual Overnight route. Instead of going to Oxford
(just got too big) we will be heading south to the Southern Pines/ Pinehurst area. There will be 4 routes – the Family Ride at Koka Booth, the Triangle Area Ride, the 75 mi. Sandhills Challenge (traditional overnight ride), and the 100 mi. Sandhills Extreme. We will begin and end all rides at the Koka Booth in
Cary
.
The Overnight will be held at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Southern Pines (the finish-line for those routes) and will feature a causal dinner with entertainment by the band Reactor. See below for hotel information (they're filling up fast!). The weekend will conclude at Koka Booth with the traditional BBQ on Sunday afternoon.
