No matter where you are, there's an epic ride just around the corner. Up next in our #GreatRides series: the Bearwallow Mountain ride of Asheville, NC!

This multi-surface teardrop ride has a little bit of everything, including: a jaunt on the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, a stop at local favorite Hickory Nut Gap, and a climb up Bearwallow Mountain. The 2-mile climb features an average grade of 8.3% (with spikes up to 17%!) and an elevation gain of 964 ft. Reward yourself with a rolling 6-mile descent and some local craft beer at your stopping point: Highland Brewing.
