Watauga Leisure Biking Club is an informal club consisting of cyclists of varying ages and abilities who enjoy biking and sightseeing. Typically, we schedule 2-3 rides per week in moderate weather. Most of our rides can be completed in 2 hours or less and range from very flat to quite hilly. The routes are rated on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the most difficult. Description of the routes can be found in Biking The Country Roads of Watauga With Ole Gade and Roni Ellis
All riders are responsible for their own equipment, transport and safety. Bicycle helmets are required and identification is recommended.(see Road ID on Links page). Please carpool as often as possible, not only to conserve gasoline but to limit the number of cars using space in the parking areas. Some of the parking areas are private and should be used minimally and respectfully.
Cyclists of all skill levels are invited to join. You do not need to reserve a spot, just show up at the designated meeting spot at the appointed time.
Below is a schedule for the upcoming rides, please check back for updates to the schedule. If you have questions, please email us at Info@WataugaLeisureBiking.com.
Our Mission is to provide group rides for the casual bike rider.
Now let's get out there and go "Biking For The Fun Of It"!
