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”.
