A favorite Asheville climb of mine up the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It's a somewhat steep climb up, about 7% average all the way, with areas of 10-11%.  It rewards you with beautiful views along the way and at the top, as well as an easy coast down.  Plan for about a 90 minute climb up and 40 minute rid…

This loop ride is pancake flat except for the two bridge crossings.  There is some bike pathed areas.  Nesting birds can sometimes be aggressive along the beach side.

This is a loop ride that brings you from the Folk Art Center in Asheville, NC up the BRP and down Town Mountain Road into downtown Asheville.  The loop finishes following the Swannanoa River back up to the FAC.

This ride can start/finish at the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It goes up to Ox Creek and over to Weaverville.  It returns back to Asheville via Hwy. 251 (River Road).
