The 30th Annual TarWheel Cycling Event takes place on Saturday, April 12, 2025, on a scenic, flat, countryside course through the beautiful Pasquotank & Perquimans Counties in northeastern NC. You have the option of 33, 64, or 100 mile rides. The rides start on the waterfront in downtown Elizabeth City at Dog Corner Park (600 Southern Avenue). You'll cycle by multiple waterfront areas and the majestic countryside, passing farmlands, pastures, barns, and historic homes. You'll pedal by horses, cows, birds, turtles, and other wildlife. Our countryside skylines are amazing!
There will be coffee, water, juice, and light snacks before the ride (we'll be bringing back our famous Balls, Bacon, Bananas, and Brews <Coffee, not beer>); and our usual great SAG stops during the ride with the famous devilled eggs, banana bread, smoothies, sweet potato biscuits; "sweet cycling crack," PBandJs, and more! Enjoy a "hot dog bar" with lots of add-ons (including bacon) and drinks post-ride. Come early on Friday evening, April 11th for the Early Packet Pick-up (location to be determined) and get a ticket for a free craft brew or wine. Stay through Sunday and enjoy our charming little town and some optional (non-supported) rides. www.Tarwheel.com
