Sept 18/20 East TN - MTB Ride and Camp

And another great thing to mention is how we can ride our bikes everywhere including beer and good food. The trails are only a few mins bike ride from downtown

 

I am still in as of now, and to be clear, I am only riding if all the trails are kinda like lower black ! also are any of them lift serviced, because my e-bike battery just went bad so ...

 

Pretty sure ALL the trails are basically the same as Lower Black.

 

B T Dubs, I don’t plan to ride windrock. Unless it is confirmed that the windrock XC trails are somewhat fun. I’d rather spend my time at baker creek with all it has to offer. I don’t mind being left along if everyone else is going to windrock gnar lol.

 

I'm not going to be riding any big jump lines, so depending on what else is available I might join you at Baker Creek.

 

That can always be a game time decision depending if folks want Windrock or not. Think of Windrock XC somewhat similar to PNW riding - narrow steepness, wood features, and slab rides (Basically not XC at all). It's better than Windrock DH in my opinion

I’ve only done drops, no jumping intentionally. I’d like to practice and maybe learn on some smaller stuff I’ve seen available at Baker. I’d call it a hugely successful trip if I could maybe do a small tabletop haha

 

That is more my style! I'll def be up for some tech xc stuff.

 

Looks Monte Sano-ish, black mountain/Bennett like. I could be up for that, but baker creek looks like stuff I simply don’t have access to and would like to ride. Again, in no way do I mind being alone

 

It’s me.

 

That's me.

 

So you coming to jump with me in Knoxville?

 

Still in the air, I've got two houses under contract and one other being listed that weekend. Likely will be a game-time decision.

 

Well the game is being played, don’t be on the bench.

 

@GrundleJuice how many do you have guaranteed camping?

 

3, including myself. Room for 3 more.

 

Ok cool. I invited a buddy from work but kinda doubt he comes. Just making sure.

 

This popped up on the first page for me. I'll forget, tag me for next year if this is an annual thing - would be an awesome road + riding trip for me. Thanks!

 

I like your dog.
