Last night a friend of mine revealed that she might be moving to North Carolina. This would suck of course as I would miss her, but it sounds like it might be a good career/life move for her. Plus she is a very strong mountain biker, and NC has some incredible trails. Her talk of NC made me reminisce about my own mountain biking vacation to Pisgah, NC last year. We had an amazing time, and despite muddy trail conditions and a heck of a lot of rain we got in some of the best biking that I’ve ever experienced. Tight twisty single-track, climbs that keep on going and screaming descents that made all the climbing worthwhile. Plus we were smack dab in the Smokey Mountains – can you go wrong there? I love east coast riding! Just sitting here thinking about it has me wanting to get out and ride.
This year we’re planning to hit Fruita, CO for our big mountain bike trip. It’s a “short” drive for me (at least it’s better then the 13hr+ drive from MI to NC), so most likely the others will fly out to Denver and then we’ll head over from here. Since I’m close now I might try to hit it early to “preview” some of the trails so we know what we’re doing. Plus is there such thing as too much awesome mountain biking? I think not.
