Jackson County Chamber invites riders from across the region to the 4th Annual Tour de Tuck Bike Challenge. We believe this will be one the most beautiful and toughest rides you will find. The event is named for the Tuckasegee River, which riders will see in the beginning and end of the ride, as it meanders through our scenic county. We offer both a century and metric ride. For detailed information and registration, visit www.tourdetuck.com or call us at 800-962-1911, or 828-586-2155.

Cyclists find a wide array of challenges in and around Jackson County, including single-track trails, back roads, and trails in the Nantahala National Forest. The Nantahala Outdoor Center's Tsali Trail System is one of the nation's finest, while Panthertown Wilderness Area and the Roy A. Taylor ATV Trail System also offer riding opportunities. The Blue Ridge Parkway is off-season favorite for road bikers, but isn't recommended in the summer and fall because of heavy motor traffic.
