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.

You’re also invited to join Coastal Cyclists on Sunday, April 12th, for a bonus ride of your choice.

Option 1 - Road: A guided road ride through downtown Charleston, over the Ravenel Bridge, through Mount Pleasant, and out to Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms. Stops included. 42-mile total or shorter 27-mile version. More info on the Sunday Tour page which shows the itinerary for the 40-mile ride.

Option 2 - Gravel: 30-mile gravel ride through the Francis Marion National Forest.

Note: Neither Sunday ride is supported by SAG vehicles. Please bring water and snacks.

Proceeds from Ride the Lowcountry go to organizations supporting cycling advocacy and access in South Carolina and the Lowcountry, as well as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Location

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.
