Tryon/176/Pearson Falls/Saluda/Tryon

Astonishing 20-degree temperature drop overnight - from 93 to 73! Very interesting ride with Rad, Chundo and E-Rock. We depart from Charlie's father's great little cabin-in-the-woods in Tryon, then ride up the closed and heavily damaged 176 ( which looks like it'll remain closed for a couple of years ) to Pearson Falls, up to the Wildflour, then around old Saluda and back down 176 to Tryon. Grey and light mist all day - a sort of fall atmosphere. Lunch afterward at a Mexican joint in E. Saluda, courtesy of Adam.

  • FIT Course

    Best format for turn-by-turn directions on modern Garmin Edge Devices

  • TCX Course

    Best format for turn by turn directions on Edge 500, 510. Will provide true turn by turn navigation on Edge 800, 810, 1000, Touring including custom cue entries. Great for training when we release those features. Not currently optimal for Virtual Partner.

    Useful for any GPS unit. Contains no cuesheet entries, only track information (breadcrumb trail). Will provide turn by turn directions (true navigation) on the Edge 705/800/810/1000/Touring, but will not have any custom cues. Works great for Mio Cyclo. Find GPS specific help in our help system.
