I received this announcement from my good friend Bob Giduz, and I'm happy we can help promote Cycle to Serve. They even re-dated the ride so it wouldn't conflict with RAW, so they are the best of neighbors. I hope you'll put it on your calendar, as I know many of you have in the past!

Cycle To Serve
Saturday, May 14, 2011
When you have one of the best metric centuries in the region, why change anything? The 5th Annual Cycle To Serve Bicycle Challenge will cover the same roads as last year. This is a very rural route, but unlike some, the roads are lightly trafficked and the pavement is smooth, much of it only three years old. There is no better way to test your legs early in the season than by riding underneath the mountains of Boone and Blowing Rock. There are several steep climbs, but none longer than 10-15 minutes, and all followed by fun, safe descents. The routes travel in and out of the valleys to the north and east of Lenoir, beginning and ending in the renovated downtown of Lenoir, a 2008 All America City. Afterwards, refresh yourself as you watch other riders finish on Main St. at our big, free covered dish lunch provided by Lenoir Rotarians.
Choose between our challenging metric century, a shorter 40 mile route, or this year’s new 25 mile route, all of which begin and end in downtown Lenoir, only about an hour and twenty minutes from Charlotte, Asheville, or Winston-Salem. The ride starts at 8:30 am on Saturday, May 14, 2011.
