It was an early morning for me. Up around 6 AM on a Saturday morning, didn’t sleep too well, but it looked to be a beautiful day for a ride. It was already warm and a little humid but I got the tandem ready and bottles prepared. Then made and ate breakfast. Woke Nicole up around 7:45 AM and left the house about 8:10 AM.

When I first came back to riding BIKE! Charlotte was the first organized event that Nicole and I did together. That was two years ago. This year the events surrounding BIKE! Charlotte run from Thursday May 1st through Sunday May 11th.

Bikes can ride for free on CATS Buses and LYNX Light Rail.

The list of events are posted here.

About as hill free as one can get around Waxhaw, this is the ride Coach likes to take those who have been neglecting their training on. Much loved by those who rode hard on Saturday and want a short recovery ride for Sunday afternoon.

Cureton Town Center Rides

The Cureton rides start out riding through Waxhaw and work their way around to Van Wyck and back. The longer routes go a little further down towards Lancaster. These routes incorporate a lot of the local area routes. They are all marked with Y’s and directional arrows. There are three routes including 38, 50, and a 58 mile options.

Start Location: Cureton Town Center (Corner of Providence and Kensington Roads)
