so apparently I'm going to gatlinburg / pigeon forge this weekend. Hows the weather and are there any trails near? I have never been and am hoping the weather is decent enough for some DH...
boo... thats what i was thinking... it seems like it's a little redneck tourist trap for other rednecks to go... Freakin friends got a cabin to get ****ed up in and trash, was hoping there would be more to do than just smoke and drink..
anything within 50 miles driving (besides windrock since I read that the mountain is pretty ****ed from the snow)
If you have an xc style bike, you can go out toward Cades Cove(closed i believe) and park at the gate. Ride Cades Cove and about halfway around there are bathrooms and a gravel road named Parsons Branch. That gravel road will take you to Deals gap(Tail of the Dragon). Its not tight singletrack, but its not a bad 2hr ride out and back.
Few things are better than getting to the top of a mountain, smoking, and sitting down looking out into the distance... it's amazing. And from the pictures I've seen, it looks like this place wont be an exception, even windrock (where it kinda turns and you get to look out over the mountains) is a pretty epic place to just chill and toke before a ride.
And yeha, I use my coilair for everything but xc race now. It's what I'll be bringing, dont think the cannondale would be up for a ride in its current shape, might check out the XC stuff.
