For those who haven’t heard of Cycle South Carolina, here is a brief overview of the expectations we strive to provide to cycling participants…
This is Cycle South Carolina’s first year back since the passing of John Bryan, the ride’s original organizer. This year’s ride is dedicated to John Bryan in loving memory of everything he brought to both South Carolina and the world of cycling. Cycle South Carolina is not just about riding. It is about bringing people together to help those in need. Sponsors and riders are the backbone of Cycle South Carolina, and it is their dedication and generosity that makes this event successful. CSCs route encompasses over 400 miles of beautiful Lowcountry scenery with participants biking approximately 75 miles a day.
Cycle South Carolina is a nonprofit bike tour to help raise funding for the United Methodist Relief Center. UMRC is a non-profit located in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina that works to repair, replace, and rebuild homes for very low-income homeowners. UMRC works primarily in the rural areas of Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester, and Georgetown counties, with some services extending state wide. Since 1989, UMRC has been dedicated to ensuring that every individual has access to a warm, dry, and safe home.
All participants of Cycle South Carolina are not just riding in a bike tour; they are providing hope to the less-fortunate and the means for volunteers of UMRC to provide help. Riders will also have the opportunity to relax and have the options of kayaking, bar hopping, taking scenic tours of the historic cities and much more. Nightly entertainment includes live music, beer tents, ice cream socials and more.
