Brevard, NC is the hub of some of NC's (and the east coast's for that matter) finest mountain bike trail networks - pisgah, dupont, bent creek, montreat, tsali, etc. Asheville is also, but Brevard is in the heart of Pisgah, and having a modern mountain bike to ride there makes it more of a pleasure and less of an ordeal I'm sure.
