I thought it would be neat if everyone would post some pics of their favorite spots to ride.

Here's one of mine:

I lost all my pictures of Battelfield and Pocahontas in my last computer crash and have not bothered to take more
that red dirt is no fun when its wet. its either slick as ice or sticks to the bike like concrete. we have it all over the place here too

Hey Gastro, looks like were neighbors! Nice shot of the freeride section of Country Park!
That place has some killer trails..........Ive been told that between CP, Bur-Mil, and the trail on HamburgMill Rd you can get about 30 miles of riding in!

Ill have to tote my camera along and get some shots of Owls Roost some time!

Word to all my Kakalaka homies!

For those truly curious about the "red dirt": https://www.backporch.org/piedmont_region.htm

I'll have to post some pics from my fave spot, the Itusi Trail at Lake Norman State Park.

I would post some pics but then I would have to kill everyone that looked

Our best spot is illegal but the park rangers look the other way because we keep a low profile, the trails clean and do a lot of maintenance. Also the hikers do not mind because it keeps us off "their" trails.

Hey Hank Rearden, where is that? Not only do those trails look sick but you take a great picture which makes them look even more inviting. Nice shots :thumbup: (Mael, where is the thumbs up smilee? It would b nice to have that one back)
