So
Bike Magazine decided to call our backyard "
the new best ever Mountain bike destination in America.." or something along those lines. Funny how once the world acknowledges something we already know, we decide to love it even more...
To celebrate this renewed love we decided to go revisit the area. We spent 1 week in Asheville exploring some new trails as well as revisiting some old ones. The area has grown a lot, but so have the networks of trails. Mountain biking is huge around western North Carolina and the trails have been groomed to incorporate huge amounts of flow and technical features. God's version of a roller coaster, except the price of admission is sweat and sometimes, blood.

| These trails will beat your equipment up. Lots of fine tuning went on throughout the week. |
 |
| High elevation hiking, this trail on top of Mt. Mitchell resembles Canadian forests and is the only one of it's kind on the East Coast. Unfortunately no bikes allowed so we hiked it. |

| This bad-boy was the size of my hand...and it had the face of a bunny on it's back!!??! |

| 1 week in Pisgah with very little to no injuries, only to come home and hit the wrong tree on a leisurely after work ride... |
