Feel the Rhythm 300

NEW ROUTE: Feel the Rhythm! 

This is an amendment to existing Brevet Route #3520, Rhythm and Roots. This version is an out-and-back which delivers quiter and safer passage as the counter-clockwise loop had sections with high speed traffic. This version also adds improved food access at the Pilot Travel Center.

This route is very rural with limited services. Don't expect much for services and you'll be satisifed. Come prepared with provisions if limited gas station food will not meet your dietary needs. 

Service: 

  • mile 26.7 - Hardee's and IGA in Pacolet, SC
  • mile 79.5 - 3-B Convenience Store, very limited supply
  • mile 95.3 - Pilot Travel Center
  • mile 132.7 - Rose Hill Gift Shop
  • mile 160.5 - Pacolet services, if needed
  • mile 172.6 - Hot Spot

Civil twilight begins (dawn) at 07:03 AM and the actual sunrise occurs at 07:29 AM.
