• Thank you, thank you to all that contributed t • Thank you, thank you to all that contributed to yesterday’s trail party at Rocky Knob. The weather was perfect and the trail crews were able to knockout some benching & trimming! • This was a team-up with members of @booneareacyclists & local riders to provide finish work on a new flow line from the summit. The trail isn’t officially open yet, so follow @ride_free_rocky_knob for updates & lend the crew a hand on future work days if possible. Rocky Knob has a lot to offer the mountain biker & is riding super nice. Also, thanks to @hqbike for bringing raffle items, @stickboybreadco for fresh coffee & sticky bunz! • We had a good day . . . see y’all at the next one, cheers! #ridenwnc #rockyknobmtbpark #sorba #trailparty

• We had a pleasure spending the day celebrating • We had a pleasure spending the day celebrating the superbly fresh, new Gateway Trails in Old Fort. It’s amazing to see the progression after breaking ground just six months ago! • There are few things as rewarding as setting a goal, working towards it and achieving it. • Congrats to our trail friends - @g5trailcollective @lisainthetrees @jdmcdougald and all the wonderful humans within the Old Fort community that worked their tails off to turn a vision into what it is today. Can’t wait to see the next phase . . . 📸 @wc_rambler #gatewaytrails #oldfort #partnerships #collaboration #trailstoke #ribboncutting
• The simple phrase, it takes a village is as re • The simple phrase, it takes a village is as relevant as ever when it comes to helping one another achieve goals. Nothing could be truer than within our trail community. • Just a couple of short months ago we shared news about the reopening of the beloved ditch (😂), Schoolhouse Ridge Trail (#279) within the Grandfather District. What we didn’t do was mention key players . . . you know, the movers & shakers. We had many Alliance members who dug-in to help with the project but we overlooked a post-up of this, well played, @pisgahpodcast featuring @xianjackson about the, how & why. We’re super thankful for Kristian’s leadership & passion for MTB trails. If you haven’t, have a listen & hear about his behind the seen insight on this radical trail. I tell ya, it’s good. • Also, a BIG thank you to Lisa Jennings @lisainthetrees with the @u.s.forestservice for her unwavering support of our MTB community . . . • 👀 tap the podcast link in our bio ⬆️ #pisgahpodcast #mortimertrailsproject #riderunplay #ridenwnc #highcountryconservation #ittakesavillage
