Asheville Riding

[tulip]

I was so busy with home improvement projects that I did not get to ride at all. I almost arranged something with Bouncy, but we both got too busy. I hope next time to bring my own road bike, have a longer visit, have fewer trips to Lowes, and more biking!

hi everyone,

i will be in canton,nc on business the week of 8/21-8/24 or 25 and wondered if anyone lives in that area or knows of the area and can suggest rides that aren't extremely hilly which i could ride in the evenings.

rides would start from maybe 6-6:30pm and i would like to ride for at least an hour (preferably 1.5-1.75hr). my average is 15-16mph here in the flatlands of clayton,nc

i'm not a very good climber yet, but would love to take my bike and try some rides in this area.

thanks, karen.

umm...NOT extremely hilly? Have you been to Canton before?

I hope you find some riding partners. I don't live in Asheville most of the time, but my family does. One of these days I'd love to ride with some Asheville folks down there.

well, i didn't mean NO hills or mountains or whatever. reading the previous posts, someone mentioned some rides and said they were kind of rolling, which i can most likely handle, but you had to drive to get to them. i was interested in something where i could just leave the motel and ride. i'll figure something out.

thanks for your help, karen.
