Routes & Format
The Cycle North Carolina Mountains to Coast Ride is a 7-day, fully supported bicycle tour traveling along scenic back roads that showcase rural North Carolina.  The Mountains to Coast Ride is a point-to-point ride, not a loop ride.  Transportation options are available at the beginning and end of the ride to allow each cyclist to get back to a designated parking location if needed.  Eight towns have been selected to serve as overnight hosts as the event moves across the state.  Each day, cyclists can expect to ride an average of 55-65 miles between overnight towns.  Only one route is offered each day (with the exception of one century option day) and all routes feature fully stocked rest stops, SAG support and mechanical support.  Each route features turn-by-turn instructional cue sheets, Ride with GPS navigation, road markings and signage at every turn.
