TOUR DE PICKLE RIDE

Dear Pickle Lovers & Pedal Pushers,

Rise & Brine! The Tour de Pickle is back for the 2026 North Carolina Pickle Festival – and this year, we have some exciting updates to announce!

🚴 Two New Routes:

• A scenic 29-mile ride perfect for casual cruisers seeking a dill-lightful ride.

• A full metric century (100k / 64 miles) for the seasoned cyclists ready to relish the challenge.

🌳 Same Great Roads & Scenery: Enjoy the rolling county roads of Wayne County, with all the charm and beauty that makes this ride a festival favorite.

🥒 Fuel along the Way: Three fully stocked aid stations with water, Gatorade, snacks, PB&J sandwiches, and of course… Mt. Olive Real DILL Pickle Juice – the ultimate cure for muscle cramps (and plus, it tastes dill-licious!).

🔧 Ride with Confidence: SAG support and a master mechanic will be on hand to keep you rolling smoothly.

🎉 Festival Perks for Every Rider:

• A commemorative anniversary T-shirt celebrating 100 years of Mt. Olive Pickles and 40 years of the Pickle Festival for riders who register by April 3, 2026.

• A jar of Mt. Olive Pickles to take home.

• A $10 food truck voucher to grab lunch from participating vendors.

• A shuttle bus from the ride finish back to the NC Pickle Festival in historic Downtown Mount Olive.

🐢 Ride for a Cause: This event is coordinated by the Salty Turtle Cycling Club, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Surf City.
