About the Book
Western North Carolina's Smoky Mountains offer road biking opportunities rarely found elsewhere. A broad network of backroads will take you rolling through rustic Appalachian communities, over high passes, past rushing waterfalls and along the shores of mountain lakes. The Blue Ridge Parkway, the Cherohala Skyway and the Scenic Waters Byway are all located in this region, where you can ride virtually all year long. Road Bike The Smokies outlines 16 of the best routes in the area, rated easy to difficult and ranging from 8 to 70 miles in length. Each route description includes complete directions, detailed map, elevation profile, road surface conditions, mileage and estimated riding times, points of interest and services available along the way.
