Grandfather MountainOctober 10, 2006by Dan Rhule Central Ohio Bicycle Club     1 Response to “Grandfather Mountain” Bob Giduz March 27, 2007 08:15 If you could let your readers know about our new ride we would appreciate the help. It will use the same route as the Bridge to Bridge will use this fall so your readers can see the new route before anyone else. WWW.cycletoserve.com - for ride info The First Annual Cycle to Serve Bicycle Challenge is brought to you by The Rotary Clubs of Lenoir and Caldwell County. Both of this year's club presidents are avid cyclists, so it seemed like the natural thing to do when we were looking for a way to raise money for the Healthy Caldwellians. This will be the first time hundreds of cyclists return to the roads of Caldwell County since last year's Bridge and the tragic loss of Statesville rider, Scott Bush, who died of a massive heart attack on Hwy 221 near the end of last year's Bridge to Bridge. The Cycle to Serve Bicycle Challenge is dedicated to the memory of Scott Bush, one of our own and a Bridge to Bridge veteran! So get on the road and ride through much of Caldwell County's most beautiful hills and valleys. If your only ride here has been the Bridge to Bridge, this ride is for you! It is a 100K route that starts and ends in downtown Lenoir. It has all the rolling beauty and challenge of the Bridge without the painful finish! No Hwy 181 and no Grandfather Mountain!! Or, if you prefer, there will be a shorter 44 mile option. This route will give you a preview of some of the roads that next year's Bridge to Bridge will be covering prior to arriving at the foot of Hwy 181. Yes, there are significant route changes, so get a jump on those other riders and come check it out. This route has more than 20 hills and wanders through 3 beautiful mountain valleys — Zack's Fork, Happy Valley, and Collettsville. Except for the beginning and the last mile, the whole route is on lightly trafficked, two lane roads. It's a great way to get ready for Mt. Mitchell! The ride will be fully supported, including three rest stops, marshals at most turns, three sag vehicles patrolling the course, and a filling meal when you return.
