AVL Winter Bike League 5th Ride

by Stephanie Buss | Dec 14, 2019

The AVL-WBL is excited to host the best structured, long, winter-road training rides on the planet. But we are more than just a ride, we are a cycling community, a network, and even a family; we look out for each other on the road.

The AVL WBL rides are not designed to drop riders, but neither do we coddle the masses. Our goal is to ride at a smooth and steady tempo, not too fast or too slow, avoiding rapid accelerations and decelerations, for the entirety of a ride.

We will make announcements before the rides on Saturdays at 9:45am and meet the ride leaders, the rides start promptly at 10am. Sag Support is provided at each ride by our local bike shop partners –Asheville Bicycle Company, Motion Makers, Liberty Bicycles and Youngblood Bikes.

All participants must sign in before EACH ride. The rides are free, but there is a suggested donation of $5 per person to help offset costs of the rides and to put towards iDream Athletes Foundation Scholarships. COMPLETE ALL 11 AVL WBL RIDES & WIN the coveted, LOCALLY MADE AVL WBL Pottery Mug.
