in asheville i would suggest hittin up pilot rock and this other one but i cant remembre what it is. but whatever the name is i like pilot rock alot better than it. oh yeah just rememberd it. bennet gap. they are listed on the little maps you can get of pisgah. atleast the one we had when we went listed em.
Do you have to shuttle or can you park at the top and do the ride and go ride back up. Or is that just too far. I'll probably be by myself.
too far and this should also be in the downhill forum not news and discussion
My bad man, I just got on and posted didn't think to go to the DH section. How can I find directions to Bennet Gap? Or Pilot Rock, or Kitzuma
definately not from me. try pming t-pirate. hes there all the time. or find one of the pisgah park buildings and they usually have maps of pisgah and the trails should be listed on the map.speed racer said:
You must climb Kitzuma :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltongu :eviltonguspeed racer said:
Even if you shuttle out the abandoned Hwy. You still GOTTA climb the switchbacks.
Then it tricks you by going DH for like 2 minutes then another 5 minute climb or so, before the 6 miles of SWEET SWEET single track descents.
Oh I love that trail.
