The Appalachian Mountaineer is a cousin the Journey, in that it is also in Virginia, run on gravel, and built with the same stoke and fire you expect in Floyd in the spring. But that’s where the similarities end.

In Floyd you roll along through the soul of Appalachia farm land, with punchy climbs and amazing descents. In Craig… let’s just say things get a little bigger, a little bolder, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Opposing the “Dragons Back” our current Mountaineer courses traverse the beautiful exposure of Bald Knob before dropping back down to the valley and crossing the river by foot bridge and then fast rolling home.
