Rides

Tuesday Weekly mountain bike ride: Leave from the shop at 6:00 sharp, ride to the Signal Hill Trail (about 2.5 miles on the road), ride a 4 mile lap or two and return to the shop via the Statesville Greenway or Broad Street.  Round trip is approximately 12.5 miles. With  winter weather, we  try to ride most weeks but it's a good idea to phone ahead especially if the weather has been questionable.   
 
Thursday Weekly mountain bike ride:
For the months of May, June, July, August, September and October we will be riding at Lake Norman State Park if they are open.  During the winter months we may occasionally ride the Signal Hill Trail. 

Saturday Weekly road bike ride: leave from the shop at 8:00AM sharp.  Since we will need to return to open the shop at 10:00, we will ride approximately 1.5 hours. There may be groups who split off to ride longer for those who have a little more time.  Our riding season will roughly start and stop with the time change. 

Everyday  All routes start from First Flight Bikes.

Route 1 - One of my favorite rides. Fairly flat and fast beginning with a very good climb in the middle and rolling ending.  This ride gives you a little bit of everything the road can throw at you.

Route 2 - Rolling roads will keep you smiling the whole time.  The section on 64 is a little busy with traffic

Route 3 - The first 3/4 of this ride is hilly but you are rewarded with a long ride on Midway Rd which is one of the fastest roads around

Route 4 - Some rolling hills with a couple longer flat roads. We use this route to make most of our rides especially longer rides.

If you try all of these and are looking for more, Wes is always trying to add more routes on his profile located here
