SUMMARY:Bike Fest 2024
DESCRIPTION:Make a Difference: The Tarwheels donate all proceeds\, in excess of expenses\, to bicycling-related activities in our community.  In the past 6 years we have donated more than $15\,000/yr.  Recent recipients include Triangle Bike Works\, Bridge2Sports Adaptive Cycling Program\, Durham Bike Cooperative\, the Special Olympics Cycling Team\, and the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition. \nFood: The Tarwheels take pride in the volunteers who contribute time\, energy\, and the tour’s hallmark homemade cookies and baked goods.

The 35\, 45\, and 62 routes have 2 rest stops while the 100-mile route has 4 rest stops. All 3 routes have water\, soda\, and cookies 10 miles before the end.  This is a fully-supported ride with rest stops\, refreshments\, and restrooms.  Routes are clearly marked and patrolled by SAG vehicles.  Mechanical support (repair) is provided on a cost-of-parts-only basis \nSAFETY REQUIREMENTS\nANSI\, Snell\, ASTM\, or COSC approved helmets are required.  The Activities will be held on public roads which will remain open to motor vehicle traffic.  Each rider is expected to obey traffic laws and is responsible for his or her own safety.  Earbuds\, phones\, and mp3 players must not be used while riding. \nPAYMENT\nYou can pay by credit card or bank debit (via Paypal). \nNO ON-SITE REGISTRATION \nRegister at this link: https://www.bikereg.com/bikefest?fbclid=IwY2xjawEUlWRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHanxV2_wBp7J0j3zXyqnuzs_hpkQF2l8gksQlItDyfNhLfl352EUp5R_tg_aem_Trqd6-pyB4QlTV3yMnChgg

SUMMARY:Ayr Mount Tours
DESCRIPTION:Located in Hillsborough\, North Carolina\, Ayr Mount strikes a startling figure in the historical town. The 1815 federal\, masonry edifice was the first of its kind in this once bustling trade town\, and thanks to the preservation efforts of our founder Richard Jenrette\, remains well preserved with several original family objects on display. \nCAHPT invites you to explore the site to learn about the design\, construction\, and maintenance of the estate as well as the lives of those\, enslaved and free\, who crafted and occupied the extravagant home and landscape from 1820 to 2018. \nVisitors are welcome to explore the site select Thursdays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays April through November. Guided tours will be offered Thursday & Friday at 1:00pm and 2:30pm. Tour times for Saturday take place at 11:00am\, 1:00pm\, and 2:30pm. All guests must purchase tickets in advance. \nTickets can be purchased here: https://secure.classicalamericanhomes.org/nx/portal/neonevents/events#/events/ \nThis is a potentially strenuous tour which includes climbing stairs\, traversing uneven terrain\, and enduring uncomfortable weather conditions and the presence of bugs or other wildlife. We regret that we cannot be responsible for those needing assistance and encourage all guests to dress accordingly. No food or beverages are allowed in the houses with the exception of a closed bottle of water.
