See that happy face on Kevin Wright? That's what Fickle Hill Friday is all about. That's him smiling on the way up. His smile was even bigger on the way down! See if you can see it in the video below. According to Kevin, "Fickle Hill Friday has not died," and happens Friday's at 5:30pm beginning at CCAT on the HSU campus and continuing up Fickle Hill until we've had our fill. "For those of you new to FHF we do ride as a group and do take breaks and wait for people on the way up. The ride has catered to all sorts of cycling ability levels and always ends with an exhilarating downhill rush. The scenery, social atmosphere, and sense of

North Carolina representative ridicules bicycling as a form of energy conservation on the house floor in this video. Kind of an entertaining video to watch.

Fickle Hill Road fits the cyclist like peanut butter goes with jelly. Sure, it’s a good haul, and yes that first mile is one heck of a steep grade to climb. That early push — accomplished nicely with a good biking partner or two, deep breaths, and confidence — leads to a casual jaunt along a meandering ridge-line.
