Cycling for the Coast

Celebrate National Estuaries Day with a ride along beautiful Bogue Banks. The goal of the ride is to raise awareness for North Carolina’s coastal estuaries and beaches. Funds raised will benefit the federation’s restoration and protection projects.

Our annual ride is great for all ages and biking levels, offering 20K, 40K and 80K options. Start training now!

The ride will begin and end at Fort Macon State Park, at the eastern tip of Bogue Banks. Riders will leave in waves, beginning at 8 a.m. with the 80K group; the 40K and 20K riders will leave a little later, biking towards Atlantic Beach and turning around at specified points on the island. Volunteers will help with safety issues and mechanical breakdowns. There will be food and water stops along the way.

Members of the federation can register for $35; non-members can register for $50, which includes a federation membership. Both fees include a “Cycling for the Coast” t-shirt.
