The
Grizzly Bike Race The
Grizzly bicycle ride is endorsed by the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and
is taking place between two running events- The Bear Road Race on Thursday, July
9, 2009 & The Grandfather Mountain Marathon, Saturday, July 11, 2009. The
Grizzly will begin in Linville and end on the track at Grandfather Mountain. There
will be a “neutral start” to the bottom of Grandfather Mountain, where
the riders will then cycle through Avery County. The Grizzly is a beautiful and
challenging route with 7000 feet of climbing in 65 miles, including 2 miles of
dirt road up the backside of Beech Mountain. 8:00am Start & 3:00pm Shutdown,
you need to be able to finish in 7 hours. Both you and your bike should be in
great shape to complete the Grizzly!!
