What we’re about
The Carolina Tarwheels Bicycle Club is a non-profit (501c) organization welcoming all cyclists who enjoy riding with great folks who share the same passion. Our goals are to offer weekly organized bike rides for all levels of riders, to promote safe cycling, to provide bi-monthly club meetings with topics relevant to cycling, and to host one of the best organized rides in the area, our annual Bikefest event in Hillsborough.
Money raised by the Tarwheels is donated to other non-profit organizations that support cycling including organizations that donate bikes to children, promote safety, and promote cycling.
Our members also serve on various cycling advocacy committees in our community as a voice for cyclists and to integrate our sport safely with pedestrians and motorists.
We welcome new members and encourage individuals to join our organization, enjoy our rides and social activities while promoting our sport and supporting our community.

NOW 945AM NEW SCRAMBLE™ CG 44.9 @ 18'ISH TO SOUTH GRAHAM'ISH
Pittsboro, 79 Hillsboro St, pittsboro, NC, USCEDAR GROVE UMC (CG) IS A NEW STARTING POINT FOR TARWHEEL / SCRAMBLE RIDES! THE MINISTER IS OKAY WITH A ONCE A MONTH WEEKDAY RIDE FOR NOW. WE MUST PARK ON THE CEMETERY SIDE OF THE CHURCH SO WE DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THEIR FOOD BANK OPERATIONS. THE CHURCH HAS A VERY ACTIVE FOOD BANK SUPPORTING 50-75 LOCAL FAMILIES AT ANY TIME AND THEY WOULD WELCOME FOOD DONATIONS ON THE DAYS WE RIDE.
New Scramble™ from CG to South Graham (aka No Man's Land) averaging 18'ish mph. Your choice to drive the pace or sit back and draft, just keep aware, safe and the group together. We'll stop at Chris' (Mile 22.8) for some refreshments and conversation. (It appears the 'C' is missing from their sign!) Described as 'charming', they open at 11AM so we'll depart 945AM so we are not waiting!
Never been there, but expecting some down-home local flavor!) On the short return, feel free to take off and burn those calories for the last 5-7 miles.
No ride if raining or severe threat. All usual Tarwheels rules apply regarding waiver and behavior. If you have not recently looked over Tarwheels ride policies, please take a moment to consult:
