Hickory Tour

We know the Hickory area as the heartland of North Carolina. Hickory provides relaxed and enjoyable motorcycle riding almost all year round. With a close proximity to the Charlotte airport, we know our Hickory rides will be a great choice for business travelers wanting to get away for a day or two and even those who just want to get away from it all. We love riding in and around Hickory because the scenery seems to be the exact opposite from what we find in the higher elevations of Western North Carolina. Kick back and relax on the wide open roads through the great farm towns on North Carolina in our Hickory Tour! Prices starting from $279.99 per person. CLICK HERE for more pricing information.

2 Day Itinerary

Day 1- Approximate Ride Time 2 Hours 42 Min – 94.4 Miles

Depart from your hotel and follow the route on the way to Lake Norman where today you will ride a scenic route around the shoreline. You will begin the lake loop on the north end and ride along the east side of the lake while heading south. Along this route you will notice beautiful lakeside homes and chances are you will spot your favorite Nascar driver as many of them live on or near the lake.

As you ride through Davidson and Cornelius, NC you are nearing the southernmost point of the lake. Follow the route as it takes you around the bottom and back up the western side along the shoreline for more spectacular views.

When you get to Denver, NC the route straightens and takes you through some beautiful hill country along highway 16 where we love to take in the beautiful farmland and surrounding scenery.

As you come back into Hickory on highway 16, we recommend stopping by the Blue Ridge Harley Davidson Dealership and checking out the Iron Horse Saloon next door. After your stop we encourage you to explore all that Hickory has to offer.

Day 2 – Approximate Ride Time 5 Hours 45 Min – 211.8 Miles

Day 2 brings more curves and a longer ride time. The road to Chimney Rock, NC is full of many different types of riding. As you get closer to Chimney Rock the road gets more twisty and exciting.

As you approach Lake Lure, you will fall in love with the little town that appears to be stuck in time. This is a great place to stop and rest while you shop and eat on the main street of Chimney Rock. While you are there we suggest you take the hike to the top of Chimney Rock for some spectacular views.

After lunch, highway 9 is a nice break from the tight curves coming up the mountain and takes you south in a much more relaxing manner. This ride back to Hickory takes you through several small towns you should not miss such as Shelby, NC, Boiling Springs, NC, and Lincolnton, NC to name a few.

Once you visit the small towns of piedmont, NC you can follow the route back to the Blue Ridge Harley Davidson where your tour ends.
