• We will ride 22 miles to the visitors center of Lake Waccamaw State Park, then to the dam and back to Dale's.
• Parent's, your children are not used to riding in such large groups and can be the most dangerous part of this event. Keep them in your vision at all times and insist they ride safely. We have had some serious accidents with injuries caused by children darting around other cyclists, and we would hate for your child to be the cause of someone's suffering.
• All participants should read MORE INFORMATION about this PEC.
