Richland Rd staging area - Partial Private Property/closed

It would be mid morning if we go. We may end up at Brown Mountain instead, the wife wants a beer at Catawba.

 

Has anyone actually confirmed it is shut down or not?

 

No, I may stop in tomorrow on my way to BR up 321. Will report back.

 

I'l be at work part of the morning. I was thinking about heading to Pisgah to break in this new bike ???? We will see tomorrow.

 

What did you get?

 

Pisgah on a Hardtail with 100mm up front and flats? Braver than I am!

 

I wanted a full suspension bike but they didn' t have what I wanted at REI.

 

I'm sure there are better trails out there than there are near me. It shouldn't be that bad, plus it cost nothing, if it gets trashed, no loss. And with 3 kids In private school and Chritmas around the corner I wasn't wanting to spend much.

 

Haha, no I wouldnt worry about the bike, I would worry about getting home in one piece! I rode Slickrock and Black Mountain last time I was there and they pushed both my bike and my skill level to the limit. It's a blast though.

 

I'm not worried about me. I'll order the bike I really want at tax time.

 

If you ever want to ride in town let me know, I always benefit from riding with people better and faster than I am.

 

I'm sure I'm not better or faster but I do try to push myself.

 

Before full squish was part of my life, I rode farlow gap on a similarly equipped bike. Not fast or pretty, but certainly fun!

 

Well

 

Did you go talk with them

 

And now for the rest of the story?

 

Didn’t talk to them. Just went to check it it was closed and we were in a hurry to hike in BR

 

So is Richland rd still an option for trail riding? Hoping to go up there in a month or two.

 

Should be just take it easy don't go bomber and I wouldn't go with more than a truck or 2. If the law is parked like the pic when you go I would consider not running it just to keep from getting harassed.

 

Anyone had any recent trips out here? I haven't been in a while. Just wondering if it was an option for an early morning cruise tomorrow morning. Or Hurricane creek ???
