The 19th annual Hunter Subaru WNC Flyer, a fundraising event to support the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, starts and finishes at Oskar Blues in Brevard, NC. This event is limited to 1,100 riders. What better way to spend the day than with a bike ride, bluegrass, BBQ and a brew! Riders have their choice of a century, metric, half century, or half metric ride that winds through the valleys of the mountains. Although it is the least hilly ride in Western North Carolina, it has plenty of rolling hills to keep all riders interested. There is beautiful mountain scenery without the long mountain climbs. The Flyer is a ride for everyone from first time riders to experienced riders. This is a fully supported ride with well-stocked rest stops and an after-ride party. The post ride party will be catered by Mayberry’s and we have lots of yummy BBQ (or Veggie/Vegan lunch options) and one free beer after the... Read More
