Is the parking you're mentioning the Bent Creek River Park? I was seeing some rides on Strava starting from the road to the arboretum, but it looked like there was a $16 parking fee?
I got this screen shot from a hiking site, but it talks about the parking. There is free parking along FS road 479. Then you can ride that same forest road up to and under the Blue Ridge Parkway, all the way to Hwy 276 (near Brevard). Disclaimer: FS road 479 will be a climb to get to the parkway crossing.
