This unique two-week event offers the opportunity to escape the summer heat and ride through the Blue Ridge Mountains all while creating an opportunity to serve those in need of a decent place in which to live. 

For the first time, the Bike Adventure is partnering with the Fuller Center Disaster Rebuilders team in North Carolina for 5 consecutive days of volunteering. Participants will start the adventure by helping out in hurricane affected areas near Asheville, NC, before transitioning onto the bike for the remainder of the trip.

It has all the components of a perfect Fuller Center ride…great routes, great church hosts, and great volunteer opportunities!

What to expect on the Blue Ridge Ride:

  • 5 days volunteering with Fuller Center Disaster Rebuilders 
  • 8 days of riding, averaging about 64 miles per day
  • High temperatures typically average in the 70’s
  • Riding 300+ miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway
  • A finish riding the entire Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park

A Great End-of-Summer Ride

What do you expect biking in the Blue Ridge Mountains this August? If it’s tree-lined roads, cooler temperatures, and challenging climbs leading to amazing views, then you’re in luck!  

Those are some of the many aspects that make this ride so popular. 

Our Blue Ridge Ride is a beautiful route, but the beauty is not only in the scenery. It’s an opportunity that connects your riding and fundraising to the families we serve with a service day along the way.   

While the cycling attracts many people to our events, most participants quickly learn they’re part of something far grander than just a ride. Join us to learn why.  

There is a lot to love on the Bike Adventure’s Blue Ridge Ride!
