The streets of downtown Lincolnton were filled with the sounds of The Ocean Blvd. Band as a special Alive After Five concert was held on Monday night in coordination with Cycle North Carolina. More than a thousand bicyclists descended on Lincolnton for a respite on their annual ride "from the mountains to the coast."
The cyclists began to arrive in town late Monday morning, as was evident by the scores of bicycles parked outside local restaurants and cafes. Many of the cyclists camped at Betty Ross Park, while a few others rested their heads at local hotels.
The cyclists enjoyed shuttle service to the specially scheduled Alive After Five concert, where vendors and local businesses set up tents to welcome the visitors to Lincolnton. The tour left Lincolnton early Tuesday morning for its next stop in Concord. The cyclists are scheduled to reach Oak Island, the final stop of the tour, Saturday.
