Unaka 300 Updates

[Luke Heller]

6/8/2026 5:35 UPDATE - the ride start time and location have changed. We will start at 5am from the Public Parking Lot at River Arts Pl, Asheville, NC. See below for parking location.

START - RED

FINISH - ORANGE

The ride will finish at a Soccer Pub where there just happens to be a World Cup match of Scotland vs Haiti starting at 9:00pm. One route other change is our approach to Roan Mountain (Carver's Gap). It's slightly longer and there are a few short/steep pitches in there. Given that we are riding around the peak of rhododendron season, it's prudent to stay off TN-143 when possible.
