Event Information
| Event Info: |
The Carolina Blue Ridge Classic is in it's third year. Over the past two years, cyclists from all over the country have helped us raise over $40,000.
The 50 and 75 mile routes available on Saturday will basically take teh same course for the first 35 miles. At that point the 75 mile route will take an additional 25 mile loop around Roan Mountain, Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge. Both routes come back together with a very fast 3 mile downhill finish to the hotel. On Sunday we will drop down to Valle Crucis on one of the most exciting downhills one will ever ride. The route will finish by crossing over Hickory Nut Gap back to Banner Elk. At this point you can take the challenge up Beech Mountain for the ultimate finish of a HC climb or 3.5 miles with 1800 feet of climing.
The 2 day loop event will challenge the mind and strength of even the experienced cyclists as you discover what you are made of, what you are meant to become and who you knew you could be.
