We’re stoked to share that on November 23, 2020, the Pisgah National Forest's Grandfather Ranger District approved the ‘Mortimer Trails Project’, and that this partnership will bring more mountain bike trails to the Wilson Creek Area! Much gratitude to all our members & supportive partners that have worked tons of hours over the past couple of years to get this special project moving forward. ☝🏼click the link in our bio for the latest. 📸 @whiteblazemarketing . #ridenwnc #stokelevelishigh #mortimertrailsproject
• Hey y’all, the forecast is looking fine ☀️, so pls join us for our Fall work party at Lake James State Park this Saturday at 9am. • Reminder to pack water, snacks, sturdy footwear & work gloves. ⚒️ Tools will be provided. • We’ll meet at the gravel parking lot at the MTB trail head, then coordinate to identify priorities on the Wimba Trail Loops. We would love to have about 20 volunteers to spread into small work groups. • Work ends around noon. Bring your bike & go for a ride afterward. * There is plenty of open space to spread out. Distancing & face coverings encouraged. Thanks for volunteering! 📸 @whiteblazemarketing

• We’re having our fall membership drive . . . • We’re having our fall membership drive . . . pls help by joining or renewing the Alliance in October 🍁 & you will be entered to win great prizes 🤗! • Did you know the majority of your membership fee is spent directly on local trail efforts? Well it does. Mountain biking helps us all get away, clear our heads & stay healthy. I suspect every mountain biker has looked down a trail & appreciated it now more than ever. • Some areas are experiencing more people on trails than ever before. More people riding is a good thing but overcrowded & overused trails create new challenges. • As a trail steward & advocate you matter more than ever. Protecting & maintaining the trails we all enjoy is increasingly important — a responsibility we all happily own. Developing & maintaining trails close to home presents a great opportunity to get involved. • We invite you to express your support by joining or renewing your Alliance membership . . . ➡️ consider tapping the link in our bio👆🏼today & enter to win (1 of 10) amazing prize packages. It only takes a few minutes‼️ #ridenwnc #FallMembershipDrive #MoreTrailsMoreThanEver #sorba #imba
