Hey I just moved here and I'm still getting used to the local dh but a guy at Roswell bikes told me about ellijay and that it's about an hour or two from atl.Anyone want to meet and ride it this Friday or another time soon?
I was thinking about riding carter's on saturday. Do you have a vehicle for shuttling or plan on making the push? I may have a friend down to shuttle using his vehicle. The push is doable but wil wear you out WAY faster.
Carters Lake is a short run, but a very steep push up the hill. I'd say make sure you have a shuttle truck... Personally I wouldn't want to push that hill more than a couple times, but with a truck you could easily do 10 runs in a couple hours. Just my .02
Carters is a great trail but no way worth it if your not shuttling. W/ a shuttle you can no doubt get 20+ runs in a day. There are 2 trails both about 1.5-2 minutes.

Trail runs along west side of the road that goes to the boat ramp. Trail starts off of Ridgeway rd just northwest of intersection with the boat ramp road. Happy trails
carters lake is fun, but i second ( or third, fourth...whatever ) the shuttling...its like a 3 hr drive for me ( columbus ga) but its definitely pretty fun. a lot of trashy people hang out there and camping for the night is super cheap. Grills on sight as well as sanded pits for tents. two main runs for DH, AM and PRO both are super fun
where are you at in the Atl? for close DH stuff you can ride Big creek. Ther are three or four lines that are good for practice. It's right off of GA 400 at the Holcromb Bridge 7A exit.
Depends on how far you want drive. There is great DH in NC but its either illegal, secret, or private property. Sugar is awesome but its one trail and Beech won't be open till next year. I know SC has some but can't elaborate except for Clemson, not really DH worthy but you cant still have a lot of fun on one. The best would be Windrock (about 4.5 hours north of you) which has numerous lines and can be shuttled but as far as lift assisted all of the good stuff is gonna be a longer haul. Living in the south your better off getting a 5-6" bike.
i need to plan windrock soon...they have a fall fest every year around the end of october...huge even raffles, two huge diesel trucks with 60ft trails shuttling all day...when i went there was easily 150 or more people throughout the day
