This tour
is very special to me, having spent many a
vacation in the region and now calling the
foothills community my home. The inns and
communities I have chosen will showcase the best this
area has to offer. From the quaint towns of
Flat Rock and Saluda to spectacular Lake Lure. The
cycling will be scenic and challenging and the
inns will provide a mix of opulence and true
southern comfort. I hope that you will join us on what is sure to be a fantastic journey.
