For an extra fee ($50 or so), the CNC organizers have provided bus (for you) and truck (for your bike) transportation between the start, finish and Raleigh (REI is a big sponsor of the event, and it is near the middle of the state). All a rider has had to do is to arrange transport to and from any of those three locations.

How are the bikes transported if I use the Cycle North Carolina busing option?
When you show up for the busing option, your bike will be loaded onto a truck furnished by Cycle North Carolina. The pedals will need to be removed and the stem will be loosened in order to fit all of the bikes. We will have mechanics available at the loading site to help prepare your bike. The bikes are loaded securely into the trucks and separated using cardboard sheets. Mechanics will also be available to help re-assemble your bike once you arrive to the site. We have become very good at this operation and rarely damage bikes. However, for additional protection you might consider protecting your bike with some pipe insulation to avoid any scratches.
