• Day 2 will take us from Rutherfordton to East Flat Rock on a journey of 40 miles. It is our shortest day and will conclude with with a 2 mile climb up the picturesque Saluda grade on Pearson Falls Road and over the Eastern Continental Divide. Our host site for the second year will be Hope UMC. The evening will include time to relax or to walk around the historic downtown of nearby Hendersonville. 
• Day 3 concludes the journey with a 49 mile route to Lake Junaluska, NC. The course will take us north along the French Broad River to the west side of Asheville and on towards Lake J. We conclude the ride with a celebration meal at the hall near the swimming pool where you can use the showers before heading home.
