Subject: LAST Group Ride & Blue Ridge Parkway

Our final Wednesday Group Road Ride of the season will be from S Macon
Elementary School at Addington Bridge Road at 5:30pm. Please join us at
Monte Alban Mexican Restaurant after bike ride for some good food... oh, and
maybe a margarita!

We appreciate everyone's support this year and every year! We hope to have
some group mountain bike rides during the fall and winter. Don't forget the
Tour de Franklin on Sunday, October 30th!

So, the Blue Ridge Parkway Ride is this Friday, October 14th! Still not
sure what time but I believe everyone will meet at the bike shop and head
over to Balsam area. Please be sure to bring lights due to tunnels and
plenty of food and water! Ride will be approximately 20 miles out and coast
back! This is a great warm up for the Tour de Franklin.

Thanks for everyone who came out to support the WNC OutdoorAthlon! What a
great weekend, with great activities, great music, and great food! Can't
wait for next year!

Road Construction

2010-10-14T12:28:00.000-04:00

FYI.............I rode Wayah yesterday and they are repairing/paving sections of the climb. I made it to the sign at the one mile marker before having to turning around. They have it shut down to one lane where they are working...... 2-3 weeks before complete. They also told me another crew was working on "Old Murphy Rd" towards Standing Indian. I hope to ride this tomorrow provided they wind isn't too bad. Luckily Tour de Franklin doesn't go that direction........

You may want to pass along.............

Volunteers Needed

2010-04-16T10:45:00.000-04:00

The Fletcher Flyer is on Sunday, June 6th. Smoky Mtn Bicycles normally teams up with several other bicycle shops in Asheville to do a rest stop! (Youngblood Bicycles and Pro-Bikes). This year, since Pam and Dave are riding the Fletcher Flyer, we will not be able to man the rest stop. However, we are looking to see if any volunteers/suckers might be willing to do the rest stop on our behalf or in our place. This is a very big rest stop with approximately 2000 riders and you can not make PB&J fast enough. They normally need at least 6 total volunteers and usually there are 2-3 people from each shop. Since it's the 2nd rest stop, you will have to be in Asheville fairly early and would be done after lunch. You will be given a lunch ticket and/or tshirt and lunch will be served at Fletcher Park when you are done with rest stop.

It's a great experience to see so many riders and happy faces to receive food/water! We saw three or four unicycles, including one with a huge wheel... it was interesting to watch him get on and off the unicycle. Oh, and he was doing the 100 mile route.

Give it some thought and let me know. I told Craig from Ski Country I would try to let him know by Monday if I could find some volunteers! Thanks for your help.

NAPA/Sonoma Bicycle Tour

2009-09-05T09:19:00.000-04:00

Pam,

Could you post this to your biking list?

Our very good friends in Florida were planning on going on a Tour of California wine country, using the tour company BACKROADS. Unfortunately, Bill was diagnosed with a severe hernia yesterday. They are past the time to get any refund for their trip. As a result, they would be willing to deeply discount this trip if anyone is interested in taking their place. (note: it is a trip for two adults, king accomodations)

The trip can be reviewed at www.backroads.com It is the "WINE COUNTRY BICYCLING CASUAL INNS" trip.

The trip begins on 09/13/09 and ends on 09/18/09.

As you may recall, this was the trip Jean and I had planned to take prior to my second back surgery. If you could send this to the biking community, who knows, someone may on the spur of the moment want to take advantage of a great deal!

Interested parties should contact: Bill or Rita Volmer at 239-404-7548 for more info and to discuss costs.

It is a GREAT all inclusive tour on great road bikes (titanium) during the peak harvest season in NAPA.

Thanks,

Lenny
