Local Spotlight: Festivelo!
"where distance justifies indulgence"
If that sounds interesting, the
Festivelo bike tour is for you!
There are many rides in South Carolina throughout the year, and you can find a good list of them in the links below our event calendar.
Festivelo, however, is one of our favorites because of its relaxed pace, amazing route selection, lively nightly events, low cost, and fantastic SAG support. A love of bicycling is thoroughly in the hearts and minds of these amazing ride and tour leaders, many who are volunteers. We highly recommend this 5 day event! Nov. 9-14. It also supports state and local bike advocacy efforts.
