Locals may have noticed an influx of traffic — on two-wheels, rather than four — during their travels this weekend. Several hundred cyclists from across the country pedaled their way through the Foothills Saturday and Sunday, during the fifth annual Cycle North Carolina Mountain Ride. After a long day of travel on Saturday, the riders enjoyed some food and drinks alongside the Pacolet River at Harmon Field. (Photos by Ted Yoakum/Tryon Daily Bulletin)
