Trailside Apple Country Hilly, 55mi/3900', 11AM
About this event
Ride starts at Trailside Brewing/Ecusta Cafe, Hendersonville, NC. We'll head out through Flat Rock to the rolling hills in the apple orchards. We climb Lamb Mtn then do a hilly loop around Summer/Spicer Cove Rd, before heading down Gilliam Mtn Rd to our rest stop at Griffin's Grocery, mile 34. At this point we'll have a mostly flat return to Trailside.
I plan to ride a 15 mph pace - Level 3 pace (slower ascending/faster descending) and stop at Griffins Grocery to rest and regroup. Faster and/or slower riders are welcome - but be sure to have the route because I can't ride with everyone.

You can easily shorten this route by 7.5mi and 810ft by turning left at the Edneyville Fire Station (mile 24). You'll continue on the route back to Trailside. Cues for the shorter route are also included in the full route. And the shorter route is below (without the Summer Rd loop). Griffin's Grocery rest stop is now at mile 27.
Ilene Wilson will lead the shorter and slower version at a Level 4 pace.
