_ The 2018 Tour dOrange:

Cycle 36, 65, 80 or 100 miles through the rolling hills of Orange, Chatham, and Alamance Counties.  Benefits the National MS Society of the Greater Carolinas and a heart transplant fund for Glen Newhart of Durham thru the National Foundation for Transplants. (www.transplants.org).  Get ready to ride the MS Ride in New Bern!  Great SAG support provided by the Triangle Radio Amateurs, marked roads, rest stops with plenty of fresh fruit like watermelon and pineapple and peanut butter & jam sandwiches.

Century and 65 mile routes start at 8 am and end at 5:00 pm.  There is a good hill in that last loop of the century, plus pretty farm country.

36 mile route Rolls out at 8:30 am

 

Volunteers Needed MS credit for rest stops, photography, or loading van only! Free ride for those who help with parking, registration or sweeps.   [Credit good either this year or next.]  Email [email protected].

Donate $50 or more directly to the Glen Newhart Transplant Fund (http://give.transplants.org/site/TR/NFTPatientsandLivingDonor/General?px=1002980&pg=personal&fr_id=1040) and ride for free plus it is a tax deductible contribution to a 501(c)3; will need to see proof/paper receipt at registration or email me.

Radius Pizzeria & Pubs Pizza and Mediterrranean Deli Salads after the Ride as well as Maple View Farms ice cream!

Radius Pizzeria, is located in downtown Hillsborough. They have a bike rack and complimentary bike locks to use if you want to ride to Hillsborough and enjoy their pizza, foccacia or flat breads. They also have a wonderful bar and outdoor dining! Pizzas are baked in a wood-fired brick oven (and they use locally sourced toppings). They are on Churton St. across from the Wooden Nickel & Gulf Rim downtown. (radiuspizzeria.net)

Mediterranean Deli is on Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill. One of my favorites!
