Beautiful area, know the area pretty well, used to mountain bike at Bent Creek, Pisgah, and DuPont quite a bit, very easy places to die! One of my phases in life, went through the golf phase, got pretty good pretty fast, when I started dating my wife I was a legitimate 5 handicap. Of course you know how that ended.
I think Anna 4 when I started mountain biking, hardest thing I’ve ever done!! At that time we lived 3 or 4 miles from the U.S. Whitewater center in Charlotte. I used to ride there 4 times a week after work, I’d usually get 8 to 10 miles in, which 8 to 10 miles in the woods is equal to almost double that on the road!
Then when Anna started playing ball, biking went away, lousy excuse on my part! Mountain biking is something I vow to start doing again, I’ll probably die though! There’s was nothing more relaxing than pushing yourself in the woods after work, you sleep very good!
Maybe we could meet up at Sierra Nevada
all my hobbies went away when the kids began having their own lives too but i wouldn't trade it for the world though. we just started getting into mountain biking recently as something for my boy and i to do together.. we already hike and backpack but the biking kicks our butts.. i tell everyone i go hiking and take my bike with me. thats how much we walk it up hills.. its ironic about the field thing.. sc has tons of nice parks, but the asheville area has none.. they just built the bob lewis park in enka and it is terrible.http://www.lewisrealestatenc.com/properties/projects/bob-lewis-ballpark/. my understanding is they see the problems are trying to remedy them, but the biggest issue is no lights.. as much of a tourist draw this place is it would make for an awesome destination tournament location if they could get the fields right and the math on travel sports supports municipalities throwing money at facilities..
