So many trails, so few trail markers.

We are blessed to have so much forest in North Carolina. So when we ride in exposed conditions, it is rare. Callum & I put together a ride on a combination of public & private land near one of our big mountains. We were blown away by the views, and nearly by a late afternoon storm. Although these trails are legal, we don’t recommend them for; there are no signs or maps; you need permission to cross some easements; the climbing is brutal & there is no parking. Follow the picture above to a Flickr slideshow of this unique ride.

In this video, Callum is riding his Scott Ransom, which, like the Maverick ML8, is one of the only bikes that “does it all”. The music is Ween’s “Transdermal Celebration” from “Quebec”.

Ohio Mountain Biking Guide

The Ohio Mountain Bike Association has created an all-new trail guide that contains information on just about every mountain bike trail in Ohio. Information included in the trail guide includes trail conditions, location, description, and more! And best of all, it uses Wiki technology so anyone can help make it better. Just sign in with the same username and password you use on the OMBA forum to get started. If you don’t have an account, you can create one.

We need your help to make this trail guide as comprehensive as possible. We know it’s not complete right now, so that’s where YOU come in! Check out the new trail guide and help us make it better by going to:
