About this event

This is a challenging and beautiful ride. The last time I rode this, in the opposite direction, I averaged 13.7 mph which is pace 3. A couple of people who have shown interest are closer to pace 2.
With the length of the climbs, it is very difficult to stay in a group. I will wait at the top of 276 for ten minutes. Phone coverage is spotty and I will answer any calls and look at texts in case someone needs assistance. It may be best to recruit a friend who rides your pace.
Store stop at Balsam Grove, mile 40. There is a rest room and they accept credit cards. The newer owners are very welcoming of cyclists.
Be sure to have front and back lights for the section along the Blue Ridge Parkway as that is a rule.
