The 8th Annual Cycle North Carolina Mountain Ride takes place August 5-7, 2022.
The Cycle North Carolina Mountain Ride is a perfect weekend getaway for any outdoor enthusiast and their families. Enjoy a 3-day cycling festival featuring a variety of route options each day that focus on showcasing the beautiful landscapes that Western North Carolina has to offer.
The Mountain Ride is a loop ride event, with routes beginning and ending at the Blannahassett Island campsite in Marshall. The event begins on Friday afternoon with a 15-20 mile warm up ride that is available from 1-5pm. Once your legs are warmed up, you’ll be all set to spend Saturday and Sunday meandering along the rivers and streams through the Blue Ridge Mountains on one of the various route options ranging from 10 miles to 70 miles. The best part is that the routes begin and end at the same location each day!
The event campsite will be located on Blannahassett Island in the middle of the Fench Broad River. Indoor camping and RV’s are welcome.
