SBI Three Bridge Tour Race Description

Tucked in the southeast corner of the state between Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC you find the South Brunswick Islands.

The South Brunswick Islands feature meandering waterways, miles of idyllic shoreline, an abundance of championship golf courses and a temperate climate.  These features make our home a scenic paradise; an ideal retirement location and destination for relaxation.

Our area beaches - Holden, Ocean Isle Beach, and Sunset Beach - have all been recognized as some of the best beaches in the nation.  We invite you to come experience the natural beauty and laid back lifestyle of the home so many of us have come to love.

The South Brunswick Islands Rotary Club's "SBI Three Bridge Tour" offers you a unique opportunity to traverse our county and cruise across the three featured bridges of Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, and Holden Beach. Select a ride that is family friendly or one that will challenge you; each promises to be memorable.

Proceeds from this event will be used to for local and international Rotary project with many projects providing experiences and learning opportunities that will enrich the lives of the children and youth in Brunswick County.

All riders will meet in the staging area in the Seaside Parking Lot near Klinton's Flooring and Sarah's Kitchen.  

1641 Seaside Rd SW, 

Ocean Isle Beach, NC 28469

Looking forward to next years event

Props to you and the Rotary club for all the hard work y’all put into the ride. All the hard work and prep didn’t go unnoticed. Looking forward to next years event. Me and my brother Keith Gore did ride 25.3 miles of the 31 mile route. We still had a blast. Thanks again!

First Time Will Definitely Be Back

Amazing ride organization and over the top gracious event staff and hosts. First time event participants for myself plus nine other cyclist from Mooresville, NC with the Brawley Drafters. Course was well marked, well documented route sheets and route file on ride with GPS. Cool swag and really liked the rider sign up board gave the feel of being pro cyclist signing in for the ride. Our club had riders of varying abilities and we did the two and three bridges ride. All ten participants are planning on returning hoping we have additional club participants next year. Ride course did enter some congested areas but the traffic control combined with the welcoming community made the ride feel safe. Many Thanks for hosting a great event with scenic views of Eastern NC.

Loved the 3 bridges route but the drivers don't love us

First time for a group of 6 of us ladies from the Winston-Salem area. We came because 2 other couples from the W-S area were there and had told us about the ride. We really enjoyed the route until we headed for the 3rd bridge to Holden Beach. In all our years of riding we have never been so close to being hit by car after car after car in such a short amount of time. The drivers went above and beyond being so mean and nasty, and to think we are there to help raise money for THEIR communities and THEIR businesses. Whatever enjoyment we had on the rest of the ride was wiped out by these unforgiving, impatient idiots who cared nothing at all about anything other than saving 30 seconds, no matter what the cost, even if that cost was our lives. I know you have no control over this situation but if you could at least ask the police departments to possibly put some officers/deputies along those main roads to Holden and watch as these idiots try to take us out and maybe hand out a some tickets since there is a law that says the car driver is supposed to give us 4 feet, not 4 inches, that would be great. If we do come back for this ride we've decided we won't be doing the 3 bridges again, we would only do the 2 bridges route because our lives just aren't worth it.

Great ride

This ride is fun and a good tough work out! The road markings are probably the best I have seen and the roads are all very good.

2 Bridges Ride

This was my first time doing this ride and it was fantastic! My sister & I did the 2 bridges course, and the road markings were excellent. The post ride gifts (medal & wine glass) were such a happy surprise, even the boxed lunch was delicious. I am so excited to tackle the 3 bridges ride next year and hopefully we will recruit more riders to join in on the fun so we can have a team registration.

Great ride!

It is very organized. The roads are marked at every crossroad if you need it. Sag stops were spaced out and had everything you could want. The traffic was heavy in places but it’s at the beach, so it is what it is. There was a large police presence and support. The road conditions were a 7 to 8 out of 10. The bridge climbs are steep (six in total). But that makes it fun. The volunteers and organizers were very friendly. Great ride!

tour review

this is the most well organized and supported ride. all the volunteers were so helpful and rest stops were a joy to stop at. gatorade and pickles would be a great addition as to help with cramps should anyone have them. looking forward to next years tour ride. the sag support and bike mechanics are the best anywhere around.
