Road Captain Instructions
All normal traffic will follow the red line in. P1 parking will offer handicap spots along with regular spots. P2 is regular parking and P3 is for overflow. Normal traffic is not to park beyond these areas.
As the attendees for the ride arrive, we will come in the same way but we will filter off to the right following the purple line to our dedicated areas. Bikes/Jeeps/Cars
If you are part of the ride and want to leave early there will be an opening between the vendors and the food trucks to exit back out and leave the event.
If you are part of the car show and aren’t part of the ride you are welcome to come earlier and park along the designated area.
The path into the event is very rocky. Take your time, especially motorcycles. I’ll be leading the ride in at a comfortable pace. Just be mindful leaving that you take your time. Less than 10 mph.
In the event of wet grass we will change the location of the food trucks with the bikes.
Please direct Traffic and Ride related questions to Rooster at board@gocnc.org
