Looking for 2-3 good routes around Asheville, NC.
Will be staying pretty close to downtown and don’t have a car, so would like to ride from town.
between 20-50 miles ideally
Gravel or road bike? I assume road but also didn’t want to assume
Mostly road preferred, but I’ve got 32c tires that are pretty versatile mounted at the moment so light gravel is a-ok with me
.
Blue Ridge Parkway is nice to ride. Climb Elk Mountain Scenic Highway to get there. Here is a loop I did but you can always extend the ride on the Parkway: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36132375

This 50 mile route starts and finishes at the Kimpton on Pack Square and was delightful.

This one is 24 miles, also from the Kimpton, up the aforementioned Elk Mountain Scenic Highway to Blue Ridge Parkway and back down Town Mountain.
