We will be riding through a portion of downtown Wilmington. This is where the bike tour will begin.
We ride on the famous River to Sea Bikeway. This route is an 11-mile on and off-road bicycle route that follows the Historic Beach Car Line, which in the past carried vacationers from historic downtown Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach by trolley.
The arrival point near Wrightsville Beach will be the gorgeous Blockade Runner Beach Resort. Those who dine will have access to some of the resort's lush accommodations and world-class amenities, such as their Lawn & Garden areas (with beach chairs, loungers, and more) and direct access to the beach from the property. Riders can also choose to enjoy activity rentals, such as kayak, surfboard, and stand-up paddle board rentals (for an additional cost).
