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.

Farlow!

We had ten people come out today to help with trailwork on Farlow Gap trail. We got a ton of work done including much needed treadwork on the severely washed out section. Farlow is once again fully rideable. Nice! We also cleared out the trees down on the lower section of Daniel. Makes for a much more ejoyable ride. Go ride Farlow!

Recent Trail Work on Black Mountain

We've spent the last two weeks doing some tread work on Black Mountain. This mainly consisted of clearing the muck out of the drains, rock armoring and some new treadwork. There's still plenty more to be done. Next trailwork day is Tuesday, September 8th on Upper Cove Creek 5:30-8PM.

Feel like helping out? We've got more trailwork days happening soon!
