Pisgah National Forest, Asheville


Asheville has it all. Biking, hiking, white water, and climbing. We opted for the mountain biking. The staff at West Side Cycles sized us up about right and recommended trails at the Bent Creek area of Pisgah National Forest. A long, winding, forest road passed by some mountain bike art as it climbed up to the ridge. After that long, hot, climb we arrived at Five Points. The descent was well worth the climb. The trail was fast and flowing. Water bars were sized perfect for moderate air. The finishing touch was the Explorer Loop. A tunnel of vegetation meandered up the hollow before descending a stream valley. The day was well spent and we slept well in our tent that night.
