Ride Routes

Ride More: Gravel, Grit & Mountain Vibes, 18 miles
Start your route with the crew from the Cruiser and Main routes, then head into North Asheville for a rewarding climb up the gravel stretch of Patton Mountain Road. It’s a quintessential Asheville evening ride.

Main Ride: Downtown Flow & Local Glow, 7 Miles
This route includes the Cruiser and rolls through Asheville’s vibrant downtown core—past cafes, breweries, and bold murals. It’s a street-level tour of local flavor that returns to New Belgium.

Cruiser Ride: Good Times & Greenways, 5 Miles
A mellow, family-friendly loop that makes for a RAD time along the French Broad River. Ride Asheville’s artistic artery via the French Broad River greenway. Flat, short, and scenic.

You can enjoy past Summer Cycle routes, too! These routes are great ways to enjoy Asheville, NC, on a bike.
