Hey all,
For several years now I have organized a week or so training group based out of Hendersonville.
I don’t want to sound like a jerk, but is anyone here from that area, and if so, do you think the area will be ready for visitors in April?
I want to bring the group back if at all possible thinking the area could use some money and visitors. But are the roads going to be back and ok? I know this sounds like a selfish post, but can any locals provide some feedback?
Thanks
My wife’s friend was at a wedding the weekend of the storm. She said most of the damage was in the arts district. It’s along the river. They were able to leave on Tuesday. She said the news only shows the ugly stuff and everything else was pretty much back to normal when they left.
I live about an hour north and bike down there regularly. I going down to Brevard to see friends and mountain bike this week. Asheville restaurants and businesses are already opening to some degree or another. I’m guessing that it won’t be 100% back to normal next spring but will be functional. A lot of businesses in the surrounding towns are actively advertising that they are back open for business. It’s super location dependent.
The NC Cx series always hosts a 2 day UCI C1/C2 race in Hendersonville the weekend before Thanksgiving, and we just got word that that was still on, so very likely things will be good for April.
