Spoke 01 — Weekly rides

Every week the wheel spins again.

Weekly rides are the pulse of Blue Ridge Bella. We meet in Asheville, roll out together, and let the roads around us do the rest.

Come as you are, on whatever you ride. The point isn't the pace — it's the company, the fresh air, and the fact that the week always comes back around to this.

  1. 01

    Roll out from Asheville

    The week's ride starts here, and it starts as a group.

  2. 02

    Ride the Blue Ridge roads

    Routes that make the most of the mountains we live under.

  3. 03

    Come back next week

    The standing invitation: same wheel, same welcome.

Clinics and workshops

Two spokes for the skills side of riding: one for riding well with others, one for keeping your bike happy between rides.

Spoke 02

Beginner clinics

New to group riding, or back on a bike after a long time away? Beginner clinics are for you. We take it slowly, ask a lot of questions, and nobody gets left behind.

  • Bike handling basics
  • Riding comfortably in a group
  • Hand signals and road awareness
  • Confidence at your own pace

Spoke 03

Maintenance workshops

Learn your bike from the inside out. Bring your own bike to the workshop and leave knowing it a whole lot better than when you arrived.

  • Fixing a flat, start to finish
  • Chain, gears and drivetrain care
  • Cleaning and protecting your bike
  • The pre-ride check you'll actually do

Spoke 04 — Race day

Race support

When club members pin on a number, the rest of us show up. Race support is how Blue Ridge Bella turns a start line into a team effort.

01

Feed and wheel pit

Hand-ups, spare wheels and a friendly face on the loudest corner of the course.

02

Route recons

Ride the course together beforehand so race day feels like familiar ground.

03

Travel together

Share the drive, the packing list, and the nervous pre-race chatter.

04

Cheer squad

Cowbells, chalk and the kind of noise that carries a rider up a climb.

Next spoke — 05 Social events

Spoke 05 — Social events

Off the bike, still together.

Coffee after the ride, potlucks, wrench-and-chill evenings, and the kind of friendships that start at a stoplight and keep going past the season.

Social events are the spoke that holds the rest of the wheel steady — the reason the group chat keeps buzzing between rides.

The riding brings you in. The people keep you here.

Next — Get in gear

Join the ride

Get in gear.

Join the club, or come along to the next ride and see how it feels. Either way the wheel keeps turning — and there's a spoke with your name on it.
