The Bicycle Inn, Bakersville, NC - my weekend recap

[emily_in_nc]

Great review, GLC. I have heard so many nice things about the Bicycle Inn. Someday when I am in better shape I hope DH and I can get up there since we live in-state. I'm just not in shape to ride mountains currently (I found that out over the weekend riding in a very hilly area in Ohio!) Thanks for sharing your experience!

Emily-

I didn't have time for the 40 mile ride when I visited, but Michael assures me it's flatter than any roads near us! We're thinking of going up soon and trying it, and I'm a hill wimp, and from talking to Michael, he seems to understand that not all of us can do the long hilly rides (though I wish I could, and am trying to work towards it!).

The 40 mile ride we did on Sunday was BEAUTIFUL and so NOT hilly. In fact, much less hilly than any ride I've ever done here in Greensboro! There was only 1 hill and it wasn't much of anything...but it did lead to a nice LONG gradual downhill all the way back to the cars!

Part of the reason we drove to the river ride is purposely to skip all the hills. You could totally do it!

In fact, if you guys ever want another couple to meet up with, we'd go back in a heartbeat!

Don't tempt me I was already looking at the calender trying to figure out when I have time to go up there - Labor Day is currently open (and that would probably be an OK training ride for the last weekend before our *flat* MS ride)

Wonder if the Inn is booked.....

Hmmm, labor day weekend our training schedule has us doing a mountainous 75 mile ride and a 40 mile easy ride. Bakersville would definitely be a good place to do both!!

I also wonder if they are already booked...

Wow, it's so pretty! Thanks for the sharing the stories and the pics. I haven't been out east much at all. Last fall I went to Greenville, SC, and was amazed at how beautiful it was. Now I want to go to NC too. (I might add that you don't really look like you have that much weight to loose, you look great!)

What beautiful pics, thanks for sharing. Sounds like you had a great time. Its nice to know one can go on a vacation/weekend getaway to a bike friendly area. As far as the dropping weight thing I think you look great.
