Road Titans Survive Hurricane Matthew

Nearly 100 riders from as far as Ohio and New York descended on South Carolina last weekend, for a 3 day, 300 mile challenge to become Road Titans

After the Road Titan support crew spent days marking out the courses, it was touch and go that the ride would take place as Hurricane Matthew tracked north, up the Florida coast.

After checking the weather reports and reviewing safety procedures, it was decided that indeed the ride could take place. The weather the first day was very wet but the next few days the riders enjoyed glorious sunshine!

South Carolina’s Oconee County, which takes its name from a Cherokee word meaning “land beside the water,” hosted this extraordinary event, offering cyclists over 300 miles of ever-changing landscapes. Oconee’s roads weave past some of the tallest waterfalls in the state and flank steep gorges, vast lakes, creeks, and rivers –including the mighty Chattooga– not to mention the native wildlife at every turn. Out of this world terrain for road cyclists.

The Road Titans 300+ and Road Titans 150 combined a challenging cycling experience, south of the Mason-Dixon Line with the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding locale.

This extreme cycling challenge is designed for cyclists that really want to prove their mettle - and they sure did!

Road Titans 150 traversed 50 miles a day while Road Titans 300+ traversed 100+ miles each day.  

Riders were put into 3 ability groups of Elite, Advanced and Intermediate with professional rider support, a leader, vehicle escort and a SAG Wagon. Rest stops were perfectly planned along the way, so all the riders had to do is concentrate on riding and enjoying the experience with like-mind cyclists.

All finishers received a medal for battling to become a Road Titan!

The Road Titans 300+ included 3 chip timed KOM and QOM Zones in which male and female riders competed for the fastest overall time to win $1,000 dollars and the Road Titan 300 Helmet.

Preliminary results suggest the David Winston from Greenville, SC was crowned King of the Mountains and Erin Burton, Queen of the Mountains.
