About us
The Carolina Tarwheels Bicycle Club is a non-profit (501c) organization welcoming all cyclists who enjoy riding with great folks who share the same passion. Our goals are to offer weekly organized bike rides for all levels of riders, to promote safe cycling, to provide bi-monthly club meetings with topics relevant to cycling, and to host one of the best organized rides in the area, our annual BikeFest event in Hillsborough.
Money raised by the Tarwheels is donated to other non-profit organizations that support cycling including organizations that donate bikes to children, promote safety, and promote cycling.
Our members also serve on various cycling advocacy committees in our community as a voice for cyclists and to integrate our sport safely with pedestrians and motorists.
We welcome new members and encourage individuals to join our organization, enjoy our rides and social activities while promoting our sport and supporting our community.

C pace (13-14mph) ride (23 mi) - Weds, June 17 at 815am, Gold Park to Mebane
Gold Park, 415 Dimmocks Mill Rd, Hillsborough, NC, USLet's ride for some coffee in Mebane! It will be hot (again!), so we'll start early!
Here's a link to our route:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29636174Please download the route to your device or print your own cue-sheet. Since the club is no longer maintaining a cue sheet generator, you will need to print your own, if you rely on paper navigation. We recommend the Print Map and Cue PDF option under "MORE" at the top left of the RidewithGPS page, then check print cue-sheet (not map) and only distance from start, label, and notes to produce a reasonable cue-sheet.
Please respond to this posting with RSVP so leaders can know estimate of attendees and notify you of any updates due to weather, etc.
Ride leaders (Wendy and Gary) plan to maintain at least a 13mph pace. Faster riders are welcome to start with us and form your own group. Slower riders are also welcome to bring a buddy to ride with (use the comments section to recruit same-paced riders:-). We'll start the ride with introductions and sharing favorite safety tips, so come prepared! Look for us at our gray VW Jetta sportwagon.
This ride is not for the new or inexperienced rider. You should have a road bike, be able to follow a cue sheet, be comfortable riding in a group, and managing personal hydration/nutrition.
If you have any trouble with these links, please let us know!
