RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Due to the uncertainty of group gatherings because of COVID-19, North Carolina Outward Bound School and iDaph Events have decided to make the 2020 Collier Lilly Ride a virtual ride.

We hope you will still join us on May 23 for a bike ride around your area. If you don’t bike, go for a run or walk. There is no registration fee and no required number of miles. This event is for everyone to get outside, enjoy fresh air and support NCOBS, while safely social distancing. You do not need any special equipment or applications.

If you can, please consider a donation in an amount equal to the number of miles that you complete on May 23.

Please tag us in your photos and use the hashtag #CollierLillyRide on social media.

We look forward to being back together with all our amazing riders in 2021!

North Carolina Outward Bound School (NCOBS) is hosting a half century bike ride in honor of Collier Lilly. The ride offers a beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain route, the 50 mile half century with 3,600 feet of climbing, that will start and end at the NEW Wedge Brewing Company location in Asheville. In keeping with Outward Bound’s bedrock principles of “challenge and discovery,” the Collier Lilly Ride for NCOBS will take riders over challenging mountain passes and allow them to discover scenic roads for the first time. This exciting event is being held on Memorial Day Weekend. Since 2003 thousands of riders have participated in the Collier Lilly Ride, an annual recreational bike ride honoring the memory of Collier Cobb Lilly, a graduate of the North Carolina Outward Bound School (NCOBS). In 2015 the ride moved from the “flat country” surrounding Davidson, NC to the rugged mountains around Asheville, where NCOBS is based. For the first time, proceeds from this year’s event will fund scholarships for Western North Carolina youth to attend a life-changing NCOBS wilderness course. North Carolina Outward Bound School is the leading provider of experiential and outdoor education programs for youth and adults. Outward Bound has helped people discover strength of character, an ability to lead, and desire to serve.
