Saddles & Spokes Bike Ride takes cyclists through the scenic rolling hills of Northern Davidson County (outside of Winston-Salem, NC). You'll enjoy the fully-supported routes (50K or 100K), a silent
auction, and a delicious post-ride spaghetti lunch. Come see why our riders and volunteers claim this to be one of the best charity rides in the North Carolina Triad supporting Hoof and Paw Therapeutic Riding and Activity Center, a non-profit that provides horseback riding to children and adults with cognitive, physical and/or emotional disabilities (a Special Olympics partner).

This event is a part of the NC Junior Triathlon Series. This means that all participants will be aged-up by USAT rules - their age by 12/31/26. This keeps all kids in the same age group through the series. If your child is 10 and will turn 11 by 12/31, then they will be in the 11-15 age group. You are welcome to "age down" and keep your child in the younger age group if that distance is more comfortable, just be aware that they will not be eligible for awards if they age down. The only kids are allowed to age down are kids who will be the age of the group on race day. For example, if your USAT age puts you in the 11-15 category, but your age on race day is 10, then you can age down. If your age on race day matches the USAT age, then you cannot age down. If you choose to age down, email [email protected] so she can make this change for you.

The organizers roll 100% of the proceeds back into the race, or to local charities with a priority to brain cancer initiatives.
