Background:
The Ride Around the Carolinas is roughly 1,550 miles. You
must ride your motorcycle in a path that traces the geographic borders
of the two states.
Read the rules
for
the iconic SaddleSore 1000
on the Ironbutt
Association site. The rules for this ride are similar and you
will get valuable background information.
Documentation: See here.
Definitions
DBR - Dated Business Receipt
A DBR is a machine generated receipt with the date, time and LOCATION
on it. Check it - do not assume it is correct. A receipt
with an incorrect time/date/location is worthless. Check and
re-check.
Fees: See fee page.
Rules
The ride must be completed in less than 36 hours.
You must start at any required city. You must
start and end the ride at the same location, i.e. same DBR.
You may not leave North Carolina or South Carolina - except for safety
reasons and if you leave you MUST re-enter North Carolina or South
Carolina at the same
point
you left it.
You must obtain DBR in the following
jurisdictions and at least every 350 miles. The receipt MUST
indicate the city, date and
time. Check your receipts.
Charleston, SC
Georgetown, SC
Wilmington, NC
Manteo, NC
Currituck, NC
Murfreesboro, NC
High Point, NC
Mt Airy, NC
Boone, NC
Murphy, NC
Cashiers, NC
North Augusta, SC
Hilton Head, SC
You must obtain the receipts in the order
listed. Either order (clock or counter-clock) is fine but they
must be in order, e.g. Cashiers MUST come immediately before
or
after Murphy.
You may take any route you like - but remember you
may not leave the Carolinas and the required DBRs must be acquired in
order.
Helpful hint: Garmin might try to send you down a dirt road
between Cashiers and Murphy. Consider using US-64 instead.
Your official time is determined by the starting
and ending receipts. PLEASE check these documents and make sure
the clock and date are correct!

required.
Remember it is YOUR responsibility to prove you visited
all required stops in the required order. Spotwalla goes a
long
way towards this proof.
