Singletary Lake Cycling - Cabin Camping Weekend (All Day)
Singletary Lake Cycling - Cabin Camping Weekend
FRIDAY – SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2010
SINGLETARY LAKE,6707 NC Hwy 53. East, Kelly, NC 28448
When you go to this Singletary Lake website, be sure to check out
the menu item "Sights & Sounds" to see what a lovely
setting is waiting for us!
http://www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/sila/main.php Singletary Lake State Park website.
http://pedalers.southport.org/singletary.htm Terry Pierce's documentary of 2006 event.
The Cape Fear Cyclists are planning a full weekend bicycling and indoor camping trip September 17-19, 2010. You are invited to join us for the fun, exercise, nature education & appreciation, friendship, food, relaxation and so much more.
Here’s the basic plan:
1) We will bicycle from the Battleship NC parking lot to Singletary Lake (approx. 45 mi.) on Friday afternoon, swim, eat dinner & enjoy social time together during the evening. (See web site above)
2) Saturday morning we will ride the “Singletary Solitary” loop of about 55 miles with an optional addition to make a metric century. (Those joining the event on Saturday morning need to arrive by 9 a.m.)
3) Afternoon & evening options include swimming, an educational ranger walk/talk, relaxing, shorter riding excursions, mountain biking, kayaking or canoeing, volley ball, basketball, horseshoes, fishing, swimming, group dinner, games, social time, campfire, marshmallow roast and songfest.
4) Sunday morning we have some short optional rides available or further exploration of the local area & activities. Group departure after lunch will follow a portion of the “White Lake Marathon” loop & then pick up our route home to the Battleship NC parking lot.
Other considerations:
1) “Guesstimated” Cost = $35 (More participants lowers cost per person for cabin rental, food -2 dinner, 2 lunch, 2 breakfast- & beverages …excess to be refunded.)
2) Brunswick County Pedalers will be joining us.
3) WE NEED… at least 2 SAG WAGONS/HELPERS, primarily to carry participants’ luggage plus group food & beverage supplies.
4) We have permission from the Battleship NC Director to park some cars in an assigned area. If you are parking there, please indicate on application. Sheriff will check lot periodically.
5) Yes, we know there will be questions about driving to the site instead of biking. Let us know your intentions on the application, or call Bethel Paris at 256-2377 psubiker@bellsouth.net.
6) We will be sharing chores such as cooking & clean-up in a cooperative manner.
7) Print out application form as a Word document or application form as a PDF document, complete, & submit with check.
8) Details regarding what to bring, group plans & schedule, etc. will be communicated to those who register.
9) Print out a biking/driving map of NC Battleship to Singletary Lake route.
