The in-person routes begin and end at Raleigh Brewing's The Arboretum in Cary and all skill levels are welcome to participate. Don't have a bicycle? No problem. Thanks to Going My Way Greenway Bicycles, the law school is providing bicycles to those who need one on a first-come, first-served basis.

There will be rest stops with water, generously provided by Jay Hill of Pepsi Bottling Ventures, and snacks along the routes, as well as SAG vehicles and rider sweeps courtesy of The Bicycle Chain. Check back for the exact routes, which will be updated soon.

The cost is $45 for general riders in honor of the law school celebrating 45 years of making great lawyers, $25 for Campbell Law alumni and $15 for ALL Campbell University students, faculty and staff in honor of the law school's move to Raleigh from Buies Creek 15 years ago. Members of the Campbell Law Alumni Association can ride for $15. Join the Alumni Association at this link.
