I know the guy who owns CMR. He is a good guy. Very small operation out of a store front in Downtown Hendersonville. I would rent from him no problem.
As a matter of fact, when I saw your post title I was going to chime in and suggest him.
I lived in Asheville for 3 years. Pretty much all of the roads are great. If you want a great ride (one of many) Head south on the parkway (from Asheville) to Mt Pisgah Inn for a meal and then head back north on the parkway about 2 miles and turn left on 151. You will loose over 3000 feet of elevation in under 5 miles. Stay on that road and it will straighten out and head back into town.
Another great ride is to just stay on 151 and go straight across the highway north. Around the bend and at the bottom of the hill on the right is Hookers Gap. Turn right and just keep going. It is all paved except about 200 yards. Just keep going.
