We spent two days exploring the Pinhoti Trail (1,2, and 3). It was awesome and found a place on our list of favorite places to ride. For those non-believers out West, there are real mountains here and they are filled with the kind of riding that you love; long climbs and longer descents on tight, flowy, fun singletrack. In our three rides we only scratched the surface of what’s available.
Our visit to Milledgeville, Georgia was a reminder of the healthy benefits of riding a bicycle. Working with the local club and the Georgia Forestry Commission, we learned that this area of the state is faced with some serious health issues and are in need of more opportunities to exercise. With local childhood obesity at critical levels, we were encouraged to know that this group is active in finding a solution.
We teamed up with the Southern Off-Road Bicycling Association this past weekend in western North Carolina for some trailbuilding fun. As the largest mountain bike advocacy organization in the southeastern US, SORBA works with over 4,000 members. It was awesome to meet all of the different clubs who share a strong passion for trails.
We started the week in a couple of up and coming mountain bike destinations (Northern Alabama and Chattanooga, TN) and wrapped it up in a well known mecca (Tsali – North Carolina). Our streak of rain and snow continued. Don’t know if it’s good or bad, but we’re getting used to it…
