So, no more backcountry riding, but I'm looking to meet people to learn my way around and find all the good stuff. Spent the last five years in WNC, five years before that in Austin, and five years before that riding in Boston. I've worked at a shop, put on races, and I write moderately amusing...
I'm getting out of race promotion, and selling all my supplies: podiums, course tape, medals, coolers, etc. Its all in a Facebook album https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10203189918643013&type=1&l=74bd74b5cb located Boone, NC.
I have six weeks left until I move away from Boone, and my intention is to spend as much time as humanly possibly in the forest riding my bike. However, I hate riding alone. I know my way around, and I have a good GPS. My fitness is not super awesome right now, but a couple weeks of hard riding...
I think you that part of the surprising willingness of the market to accept an entirely new platform is a reflection of aging consumers, increased confidence in the economy, and the amplifying affect of social media. I posit that mountain bikers are getting older, want a more forgiving ride...

I'd love to work with you guys: I submitted an application to USFS to hold an enduro at Brown Mountain, and I've started permitting events at Rocky Knob.
Post Bike Mojo, specifically the Austin VooDoo board http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/forumdisplay.php?f=14 and you can get tons of help. With any luck, someone will show you where the really good trails are, which are all very illegal.
With Beech opening up more regularly, I'm thinking about getting a bike. Here is the deal: I'm an XC dweeb in my late 30s and I don't have much budget. My initial thought was to get a slack hardtail. However, I'm saving up for a 5-6" 29r to replace my Titus Racer X for Wilson's trips, but I was...
My friends at the Wilkesboro TDA asked that I spread the word about the High Country Council of Governments'survey on bicycling. If you ever ride - on road or off - in Ashe (Jefferson), Avery (Banner Elk), Watauga (Boone), Wilkes (duh), Alleghany, Mitchell or Yancy Counties (I have no idea where...
"Beech Mountain Resort’s general manager, Ryan Costin, said he plans to open the new trail system on the weekends starting in June, leading up to this year’s Mountain Bike Gravity National Championships, which runs July 20-22."...
Thanks for the feedback. Oct would work better for me, presuming it's not too late/cold. July might be tough being so close to nats. I'll defer to y'all, but the course is probably has to much pedaling to bill it as a DH. I could run it non-USAC as well.
If I can make it work around what Ski Beech has planned, and Matt is available for timing, I'd like to do another Super D, probably in May, so I can make it up to all of you who got screwed by the weather last year. I'd need a little help with the trail beforehand - clean up from the winter, and...
Dan Scagnelli from the Town posted tons of great new maps all over the place to make getting around easy. I believe Brad is wrong (congrats on the win today!) and the Summer Rd will be open to cyclists wishing to ride up to the trails.
Quick heads up for the Emerald Outback: on Sunday 9/25 between about 1130 and 1230 there will be about 100 or so idiots riding up the winter road, through the big gate, and up the backbone into the woods and through the gate into Eagles Nest. Trails will still all be open and ridable, but if you...
