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.
While on my 2020 Road Trip I stopped in Brevard, NC to ride for three days with Red Wolf Mountain Bike Tours – and Seth!
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.
Our climb up to Pilot Rock was an exercise in pain and endurance. My legs were shot by the previous day’s 16+ mile ride with over 2000 feet of climbing up steep inclines and over rocky, rooty obstacles. Pilot Rock was an ascent that, to put mildly, hurt. But the payoff was worth the effort!
Yesterday was the third and final day of my trip to North Carolina on this Red Wolf Tours Seth’s Bike Hacks Group Mountain Bike Trip. Starting on day one, we all met and rode an easier but fun ride through Dupont State Forest. Day two was a lot heavier and saw us riding through the trails in and around Spencer Gap and Fletcher Creek. Today was a bit less formal as we rode multiple locations.
