Rode yesterday. So many leaves down! Hard to see the rocks and roots! But beautiful ride. Wish I could stay out there all day.

Visitor to Asheville, the two days prior, I completed "Best of Dupont", Bent Creek Loop, Green's Lick, & Ingles Field Gap. I thought I'd visit Pisgah before I left. This trail is very difficult and was a very fun experience. If you can't ride it, walk it. It deserves the Black Diamond difficulty rating.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
