Jamie & Joy's Insider Tips
- Ideal Travel Window: The best time to visit Asheville is March through early November. Spring is particularly enchanting with blooming wildflowers and fewer crowds. Join a spring bike tour to enjoy the natural beauty before summer humidity sets in.
- Fall Colors Without the Crowds: October offers jaw-dropping fall foliage, but it’s also peak tourist season. For fewer crowds, plan your ride in late September or early November — you’ll still catch vibrant leaf color with easier road access.
- Visit the Biltmore Estate: A tour of the Biltmore Estate is like stepping into a European fairytale. The house, gardens, and winery are incredible, and we can coordinate your visit as part of your custom cycling tour.
- Basecamps Outside Asheville: Consider staying in charming towns like Brevard or Burnsville — ideal launch points for exploring Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and quieter cycling routes.
- Craft Beer Culture: Asheville’s modern boom owes much to its legendary craft beer scene. Don’t miss local favorites like Burial Beer Co., Green Man Brewery, Hi-Wire Brewing, Highland Brewing, and Zillicoah Beer Co.. Some of our bike & brew tours include stops at top breweries.
- Get to Know Asheville Differently: Take a LaZoom Comedy Bus Tour — a quirky and hilarious way to learn about Asheville’s weird and wonderful history (and give your legs a break!).
- Learn Southern Flavors: Cooking classes are a fantastic off-bike activity. We’ll help you book popular options like those at The Asheville Kitchen or Hickory Nut Gap Farm. Advance planning is key — these book up quickly.
- Art Lovers Rejoice: Spend a rest day wandering downtown Asheville or the River Arts District (RAD), home to dozens of working studios and galleries. The RAD is an easy ride or drive from downtown.
- Ride the Blue Ridge Parkway: This legendary scenic byway runs right through Asheville and offers unparalleled road cycling. But note that we do not recommend riding the BRP during the leaf season. Too many cars! The good news is that we have other beautiful rides with long fall views off the BRP.
- Custom Tour Packet: When you book one of our Asheville Bike Tours, you’ll receive a detailed Tour Packet — your go-to resource for routes, lodging, restaurant tips, and off-bike adventures tailored to your travel style.
