Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Description
If you're looking for a truly epic road cycling challenge in Gastonia, the Lineburger Park – Cramer Mountain Climb loop from Lidl Parking delivers. This difficult 126.8-mile (204.1 km) route packs in a massive 6018 feet (1834 metres) of climbing over an estimated 9 hours and 17 minutes, making it a serious test for experienced riders who crave both distance and elevation.
What to expect on Lineburger Park – Cramer Mountain Climb loop from Lidl Parking
The route begins with a transition from the easy, paved paths of the Avon & Catawba Creeks Greenway near Lineberger Park, offering a relaxed start through wooded and open creek areas. As you head towards Cramer Mountain, the terrain shifts dramatically to demanding ascents and descents on rural roads, characteristic of the Appalachian foothills. Expect significant elevation changes and a less developed cycling infrastructure in the Cramerton area, adding to the challenge. This varied landscape makes it ideal for road cyclists who appreciate both scenic greenway stretches and serious mountain climbs.
Planning your visit
Starting from Lidl Parking, a convenient spot for many local routes, you'll need to be prepared for a full day in the saddle. Given the 9-hour-plus duration, an early start is essential to complete the loop in daylight. Be aware that the roads connecting the greenway to Cramer Mountain can have varying cycling infrastructure, so stay alert. Carry plenty of water and nutrition for this extensive ride.
