Final notes about the routes
- When traveling on Spur 40 (Charlie Smith Sr Hwy), the right lane past the submarine photo op becomes a TURN ONLY lane into the base. Please merge left to continue straight through the light.
- The 40, 62 and 100 mile routes travel along Laurel Island Parkway, which has a new multi-purpose trail on the north side. Please take advantage of this new addition to our local trail system!
- Century Riders please note: The rest stop in Woodbine at the Satilla River (mile 44) is a must! Century riders must arrive at the Woodbine rest stop (mile 44) by noon to avoid being turned back to complete a shorter ride.
