Cycle North Carolina is coming to Henderson Cycle North Carolina, a part of North Carolina Amateur Sports, has announced that their fall
2011 bicycle ride across North Carolina will include a stop in Henderson. CNC will spend the
night of Oct. 4 at the Henderson Family YMCA. This is an exciting event and a grand opportu-
nity for the community to welcome and showcase over 1,000 cyclists from throughout the state.
Many of the cyclists will be “camping out” at the YMCA with others choosing to stay at local motels. All of the participants will be looking for good meals and shopping opportunities. The YMCA hosted Cycle North Carolina in 2001 and it was a huge success in highlighting our area. There will be special events planned for Oct. 4 and transportation services
provided to the cyclists to move them around the area. The Henderson Family YMCA, the Henderson Vance County Chamber of Commerce, and Harris Incorporated of Henderson will be the coordinating and host sponsors. Other local sponsors will be needed. Please contact Julia Langston at julial@henfamymca.org to be a sponsor or a volunteer.
