My cross-country mountain biking trip was off to a great start - and it got a lot better when I was able to visit the "Ride Kanuga" bike park in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
As one of the major tent-pole stops on my 2020 road trip, I had the pleasure of riding DuPont trails with Barrett from Red Wolf Bike Tours in nearby Brevard.
I met Zack on Reddit. He was new in town and was looking for someone who could show him around the San Francisco Bay Area trail systems. I was free, I was bored, I said "sure".
