Due to extensive damage from Hurricane Helene, we have postponed our 2025 tour.
This 4-day riding and social event will be designed for rider levels from Recreational to Advanced. The design of this tour keeps us in Asheville for all four nights. You will have all maps and GPS routing, van support at 10-15 mile intervals, mechanical support, energy drinks, meals, riding snacks, brewery tour and an occasional van ride for those who are tired. Hotel accommodations are included, but guests will be responsible for their own transportation and bicycle shipment, if needed. Our base camp hotel will be the TownePlace Suites in downtown Asheville. There will be a casual catered meal and a complimentary Wine and Brew social on our first evening. The group ride will be limited to the first 20 riders. Route maps will become available when you sign up.
We will ride quiet, country roads in great little towns near: Weaverville, Barnardsville, Mt. Mitchell, Mt. Pisgah, Marshall and the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway.
