2023 WNC Flyer Routes
Ride Routes will be emailed to all pre-registered riders when they are finalized. The routes are similar to past courses starting from Oskar Blues.
Elevation charts for each ride:
There will be road markings prominently displayed along the route and especially at every turn. The colored directional arrows are Blue-30 mile, Yellow-50-mile, Orange-62 mile, and Green-100 mile and will be painted in this order near the side of the road.
Mountains can be viewed along The Hunter Subaru WNC Flyer route. All routes contain flat, rolling and hilly sections, and wind along two-lane roads through the country side and a few suburban areas. Sometimes, you’ll ride next to streams in the flatter sections.

REST STOPS
There are multiple rest stops along the courses. The volunteers will provide a variety of prepackaged food, water, and electrolyte mixes. Please let the rest stop staff fill your water bottles for better hygiene control. There will also be mechanic stations to assist you with any mechanical issues and there will be port-a-potties for your use. Every rest stop will also have a safety marshal and ham radio operator to help as needed.
