Lower Kings Mountain Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Steep road dropping from Skyline Blvd to Woodside, with mostly smooth pavement but no shoulder. The lower section has a few bad pavement spots, and many horse riders on the side trails

Kings Mountain Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Plenty of hairpins so watch your speed on the downhill. Overall it's less trafficked near the top than it is near the bottom, as you might expect.

Kings Mountain Road

Highlight • Cycleway

An awesome descent or ascent following the pretty, tree lined mountain road. There aren't many cars, but it's not a wide road so do watch out and enjoy the road rather than race it.

Woodside Store (Historic Site)

Highlight • Historical Site

Trails looping around and through the open air pioneer settlement museum. Even if inside displays should be closed it's interesting and some buildings have windows to peek through

The Village Hub Coffee Bar & Garden is here; and it is tailored for a cyclist's break with a nice bike rack, open outdoor tables and chairs and a mean coffee of many varieties available for buzzing up.
