About the event
The Appalachian Mountaineer is BACK!
2024 brings the best Mountaineer yet. We are considering some tweaks to the classic courses but you can expect all the things you love about The Mountaineer. The best aid stations, amazing views, and rowdy good riding which will challenge any bike and rider. If everything goes to plan we will be the first wheels on Lignite Rd after a freshening up by the Forest Service!
Featuring narrow forest roads, old rail beds, and of course the now famous ridgeline exposure of Bald Knob, The Appalachian Mountaineer is back and here to show of some of the best parts of #Gravelachia.
This year racers can choose from multiple distance options (pending). Upon returning to Wilderness Adventure riders are treated to campfire hospitality, a delicious post ride meal and a "cold one" of your preference included with entry.
3 on-course aid stations will be there to keep you refreshed and rolling hosted by Cardinal Bicycle, Star City Cycling, and our Journey Productions team.
Our hosts for the weekend are the class acts at Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing. Wilderness showcase 500 acres of field, forest, stream, and mountain to explore. Bring the entire family and take time to hike our trails, rent a canoe, fish in one of our two ponds, take thrilling rides down our zip line, or simply relax with a warm cup of tea along the banks of Craigs Creek.
