The Beech Mountain Metric is a BSG (Blood, Sweat and Gears) Events ride, planned and executed by the businesses and citizens of Beech Mountain. BSG Events is a 501c3 , fund raising non-profit whose net proceeds are donated to local charities and public safety agencies in the High Country.

The Metric is a timed ride. For online registration or more information about this exciting event, please go to http://www.beechmountainmetric.org/.

The start is located at Morning Star Mini Storage in Banner Elk, NC .

You park your car on the top of Beech across from Beech Mountain Town Hall. Volunteers are there to direct you.

Coast to the start area (yes it's all downhill to the start). Volunteers are located approximately every 1/2 mile to observe the procession headed to start to promptly address any issues that might arise.

The morning can be cool as you coast down Beech Mtn to the start. We will provide bags for you to put any extra clothing you want to shed at the start for us to take to the finish line. You can pick them up at Town Hall after you finish.
