This page is currently serving as an info page for sponsors, please check back for ride info leading up to Sunday Sept. 23, 2018. Thanks for stopping by!






The Triangle 200 is an all day, self supported tour of the Triangle area. There are two greenways that make up the majority of the route. The American Tobacco Trail and the Neuse River Greenway. They are connected by a series of back roads, smaller greenway sections, trails and cut throughs that make for about 50 miles Greenways, 60 miles road, and 15 miles miscellaneous track. It is done as a loop, leaving Durham and finishing back at the start. Riders are given a crayon and a booklet with cue sheets per section. The booklet also contains areas for reliefs to be taken with the supplied crayon. There will be 5-8 checkpoints around the route, riders must stop and obtain a relief from the woodblocks at each checkpoint. Riders must complete the route in 13.5 hrs to qualify for all the good stuff after the ride. Lights are required and helmuts are encouraged. In addition riders must be completely self sufficient along the route, no support will be provided, only cues on where to resupply.


The Triangle 200 began in the spring of 2016. In exploring the areas around Durham, I began to try and piece together the two long greenways in the area. It became clear that a whole day would be required to accomplish both trails and also get home. Once the miles started to add up, I decided to try and make it an even 200km. It seemed fitting, and made it possible to include some fun and interesting tracks for the route.


It is a simple ride, an unsanctioned, underground brevet. Registration is cheap, the only requirement for riders is a desire to push themselves. In the third edition of the Triangle 200, my hope is to obtain support from sponsors to provide some extra stoke for the riders. Attendance this year is expected to be between 20-50 people. There will be a raffle at the end of the ride, every rider who completes will have a chance to go home with gear and prizes.


You, as a sponsor could expect to see mention of and praise for your support in social media posts made by our organizers(me) and our participants. Sponsoring partners will have the opportunity to be promoted on print flyers in and around the 3 main cities along the route(Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill/ Carrboro). You will also have a sense of purpose knowing that you supported something that many companies deemed an risky investment. Your gear will be loved, appreciated, and used by people who are simply out to ride and explore. You are one of a small group of sponsors that I’ve contacted, companies I support already, companies I believe in. I look forward to working together in this and other events that we produce here in Durham, NC. From alleycats and gold sprints to 200km brevets, we, the B Team are two cyclists who decided to try and create a scene we wanted to be a part of. We bring together those who want to push themselves, to chill, to hang and to wander. We hope that you will be a part of this with us!
