Lake James Mountain Bike Ride

Come out to ride anLake James and maybe Gateway!

We’ll meet at the Paddys Creek parking lot at 10:30am and ride the West and East Wimba loops (roughly 9 miles). If we want to add on a few more miles, before returning to the parking lot you can veer off on the Fonta Flora trail towards the Visitor Center, go across the bridge and join up with the East Wimba trail for the return or go back on the Fonta Flora (that's about a 18-20 mile day). This is a pretty chill ride. I would put it somewhere between easy to moderate (if we go for the 18 miles). Trails are flowy and the scenery along the lake is great. Plan to ride 2-3 hours.

For lunch we can meet up at Whippoorwill Farm or head to Hillman Beer for a beer and food.

After lunch on the way back to AVL head to the Gateway Trail for another chill, slow paced ride. Thats if people are up for it?
