Route - cell coverage

CycleSouthCarolina begins at Moultrie Middle School in Mt Pleasant on Sunday June 13. Camping will be available on Saturday June 12 at the school. Our first overnight is in St Stephen, then to Sumter for two nights, then Orangeburg, then Walterboro, and back to the start. Our routes are mostly rural and remote. There is very little cell coverage most days.

What if I can ride 70 miles a day? don't worry !

We have a SUPER SAG BUS that will depart around 8:30 each morning and take you as far down the route as you like, and you can begin your ride from whatever distance you are comfortable. Or we will pick you up, if you get tired and need a ride in. We will NOT leave you on the route along! We will take care of you. (SAG- Support And Gear)
