92 Miles or 100 Miles with a climb up Pilot Mountain
There are two variants to this route, one being 100 miles and the other being 92 miles. The only difference between the two is that the 100 mile ride includes a climb to the top of Pilot
Mountain and the 92 mile ride does not. This route will take cyclists through downtown Mt. Airy past several establishments referenced on The Andy Griffith Show. After leaving Mt. Airy, riders will continue on to scenic Pilot Mountain. The route offers excellent views of the mountain.
Riders on the Tour de Mayberry will have the opportunity to cycle to the top of Pilot Mountain. This side trek features a ride to the upper parking lot at the top of the mountain. The average grade is 10%. This adds an additional 8 miles to the overall distance of this ride.
