Downtown Edenton and the Waterfront Campsite will provide the perfect start and finish line for the 2013 Cycle NC Spring Ride. Coastal scenery, flat roads, low traffic counts, the wind at your back with hundreds of other cycling enthusiasts are just a few things that attract riders annually to this three day ride.

All routes will be fully supported with rest stops every 10-20 miles, Support And Gear vehicles (SAG’s), and the Cycling Spoken Here bike mechanics.
