Oskar Blues, Brevard, NC
The 19th annual WNC Flyer presented by Hunter Subaru will be held in Western North Carolina. The start/finish will be at Oskar Blues in Brevard, NC. What better way to spend the day than with a bike ride, bluegrass, BBQ and a brew!
Riders will have their choice of a century, metric, half century, or half metric ride that winds through the valleys south of Asheville, NC. Although it is the least hilly ride in Western North Carolina, it has plenty of rolling hills to keep all riders interested. There is beautiful mountain scenery without the long mountain climbs. The Flyer is a ride for everyone from first time riders to experienced riders.
This is a fully supported ride with well-stocked rest stops and an after ride party. The post ride party will be catered by Mayberry’s and we have lots of yummy BBQ (or Veggie/Vegan lunch options) and one free beer after the ride.
Net proceeds benefit cycling advocacy organizations in WNC. Email support@idaph.net if your organization is interested in being considered as one of our non-profit partners.
The WNC Flyer presented by Hunter Subaru ride course cutoff time is at 4pm EST. Riders are able to complete their ride on their own unsupported after 4pm, however, all post ride activities and volunteer/police support will end at 4pm.
