Click here to download and print the 2009 routes!!!!


Join us for the 16th annual Tarwheel Century.  It's time to put winter aside and get back in the saddle for the 'world's flattest century'.  The Tarwheel Century will be one of the most beautiful rides you can do.  Our completely sagged century will take you through the historical downtown areas of both Elizabeth City and Edenton, NC.  If Mother Nature cooperates, there will be azaleas and dogwood trees in bloom along the attractive waterside. 

3 wonderful SAG/Food stops on the routes... plus at the Start, Espresso drinks and coffee (compliments of Muddy's Coffeehouse), and good energy food... and plus, the usual great hot dogs to top-off a Tarwheel Finish

 

Roanoke Bible College, Elizabeth City, NC 

Please see directions to Tarwheel !!!

The start and finish point is at Roanoke Bible College on Poindexter Street in Elizabeth City, NC.  Registration will start at 6:30 a.m. and the last rider must be out by 9:00 a.m.  There will be a mandatory riders' meeting at 7:30 a.m. and a mass start to follow.  The ride will take place rain or shine.

Hot showers will be available after the ride!

Our fully sagged ride will have munchies at each rest stop and your choice of water or sports drink.  There will be restroom facilities at all sag stops.   Most sag vehicles will be outfitted with Amateur Radio operators for better communication and quicker response to emergencies. 

 

Helmets are required for all rides!
The price of $35.00 includes registration, sag support and a T-shirt.  The T-shirt is guaranteed only if your registration is received prior to April 5th, 2009.
