About

The proximity of Asheville, NC to public lands and rural towns sets it up wonderfully for mixed surface riding with the modern gravel bikes or any other off-road focused bicycle travel. Many of these routes are deep in to the forest with limited cell service and even fewer people to ask for assistance on the tracks. This website is meant to be an accumulation of the best rides in the area as featured by regional events, local pro training rides and adventure focused riders. As the website gets built out, if you have any specific questions or route recommendations feel free to email support@ashevillegravel.com

Recovering Engineer, Beer Drinker, Master of none

In a tale as old as time, this past fall my wife and I decided to simplify our busy Denver based life and move to Brevard, NC. As a casual gravel rider and intermediate mountain biker, I had a bit of an influence on the location selection. Moving here, I found myself following local pros, researching regional races and studying strava heat maps just to learn the best roads and directions to string together my rides. This website is my attempt to save you the trouble as well as encourage me to try new routes. Happy riding!
