Bryson City, NC
- just an hour west of Asheville and three hours north of Atlanta, this
quaint mountain town provides a perfect setting for yet, another great
Cycle North Carolina Mountain Ride weekend. Join us August 5 & 6
for a weekend full of amazing road biking and endless opportunities to
"play outside." Go white water rafting on the Nantahala
River, mountain biking at Tsali Recreation Park, fly through the treetops
at some of the areas famous zip-line canopy tours, take a ride on the Great
Smoky Mountains Railroad or hike to some of the most pristine waterfalls in
Western North Carolina.
The Bryson City area will provide you with a variety of cycling
options, unique experiences, and some of the most spectacular mountain
views in North Carolina. The routes are a perfect fit for road bikes
as well as most tandems, trikes and hybrids and are suitable for
intermediate to experienced cyclists. If you are feeling adventurous,
some routes even include gravel grinder sections as well as a scenic train
ride to the start point. If you just want to come up for the weekend
and ride some mountain bike trails, but still participate in all the
Mountain Ride activities, meals, socials, etc., then we've got an option
for you.
Downtown Bryson City and the Swain County Recreation Park will be the
entertainment hub for the weekend with a wide variety of activities planned
while in town. Live music, beverage gardens, paddle trips, train
rides, mountain bike group rides and much more will be available.
Friday night will feature the CNC Mountain Ride Kick-Off Event with
an official welcome from the Ride Director and local town officials.
It's a perfect time to gather for some fun, cheers and local brews.
On Saturday night, join us for the CNC Mountain Ride Social, which is
a free event for all registered participants and offers an evening filled
with a great food, local music and a picturesque mountain sunset.

Todd, I have been looking at the Mountain to Coast as well, but Bryson is very interesting. Have to check my calendar but will follow your posts.
I'd love to do Mtn to Coast at some point but unfortunately I can't this year. I'm certain the scenery would be interesting. I'll stay on the Fogbees about doing it. Maybe the 2 of us can get more Fogbees interested and make it happen. I hope to make the 2 day event this year. Me and Mike Grubbs have discussed it but haven't totally committed yet. It's August 5 & 6. Hope all's well there in SC. Take care
