Welcome! Kickin' Asphalt was recently selected as the "Best Bicycle Club in the Southeastern United
States"...based on growth, community involvement, and use of League of American Bicyclists
services. We are a non-profit bicycle touring club open to cycling enthusiasts in and around Southern
Beaufort County, South Carolina. We were founded in September, 2006 and now have more than 100
members. We are affiliated with the League of American Bicyclists and Palmetto Cycling Coalition of
South Carolina. KABC organizes and promotes safe group bicycle rides and holds social activities
for our cyclists. We require helmets to be worn on all rides and we encourage brightly colored
clothing.

We currently ride every Saturday morning, starting at different locations in and around Hilton Head, Bluffton, &
Beaufort. Each ride is organized by a different Ride Leader who plans the route and provides maps and/or
cue sheets for each rider. The "Kickin' Asphalt" group rides approximately 15-18 mph for approximately
35-40 miles.
Some of our Saturday rides also have a slower ride group (less then 15mph), affectionately known as
"Draggin' Asphalt", for our more recreational & social riders. They ride approximately 20 miles at a more
leisurely pace.
We usually meet for lunch at a local restaurant following our rides. Come out and ride with us once before you
decide to join our club. See you soon!
