Ride the Lowcountry: DAY 1 | APRIL 11
This year’s Ride the Lowcountry event will again be at the same spacious venue as last year: Awendaw Municipal Park, 7900 Doar Rd in Awendaw, SC. In addition to our usual road rides, we’ve added two gravel options that start and end at the Awendaw Municipal Park. Enjoy a great lunch after the ride.
ROAD RIDES
Choose from routes of 33, 43, 65 and 100 miles of beautiful Lowcountry marsh and woodlands, much of it in a national forest. It’s a relaxing but challenging ride. See the video.
Join one of the pace groups to ride your chosen route at the speed you’ll enjoy.
GRAVEL RIDES
Choose either a 20-mile or 40-mile gravel route. These rides begin at the park and ride mostly through the forest. The 40-mile route will have one rest stop.

MEET THE BENEFICIARIES

Directions to Awendaw Municipal Park
The Awendaw Municipal Park has two entrances off Doar Road, which intersects with Highway 17 in two places. For your safety and smooth traffic flow, please use the northern intersection of Doar Road — the one farthest from Charleston.
If you’re coming from Charleston, drive 9.3 miles past Seewee Outpost (a store and gas station on your right) before turning right onto Doar Road. Do not turn onto Seewee Road or the closer Doar Road entrance. Directional signs will be posted to guide you.
