Cycle North Carolina is a weeklong bicycle tour that takes place in October when the air is cool and the colors make every scene picturesque. Each year nearly a thousand participants pedal their way from the foothills of the Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains to the coast taking in the best of North Carolina's historic sites, state and national parks, museums, and points of interest. In addition to all there is to see, several communities selected for overnight stays host evening entertainment and showcase their unique and diverse cultures.
The promotion of good health and fitness, while providing economic benefit to rural communities and a natural presentation of this state's scenic beauty, has been the objective of this successful bicycling event, since 1999. This increasingly popular, touring event is named as one of the "Best Biking in America" by the League of American Bicyclists. Click here to access the Cycle North Carolina home page.
