Farlow Facelift

We had a good crew come out to help with more trailwork on Farlow the other day. This steep staircase was washing away pretty quickly.
This new line takes the old logging road that was hidden beneath years of fallen locusts.




Chuck and Sam burned through all of their gas to cut out 20+ logs.







Thanks to everyone for helping out. I think everyone was surprised at how quickly we knocked this out! With proper planning and a hardworking group of folks we seem to be getting a lot done in Pisgah lately! What a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Trailwork and Recon with Jeremiah Bishop and Sam Koerber

Jeremiah Bishop and Sam Koerber worked together this week to repair a washout section on a connector trail off Cove Creek. In two weeks they'll battle it out on the same trail in the Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage Race. We had a diligent crowd helping out last week and got a lot done in the few hours before the sun set.

The Breakfast of Champions. Pancakes with Jeremiah before preriding Stage 1 on Thursday.
Jeremiah and I hit the trails to preride Stage 1 with Cycles De Oro riders Morgan Olsson and Eric Jackson. Sam Koerber met us halfway to show us how to ride some gnarly stuff on the top of Black Mountain. Video to come soon.

We have a few more trailwork days coming up here soon.
