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

It takes a lot of planning & behind the scenes work to put on race events and we’re super humbled that @nccyclocross has generously donated $$$ dollars for the Alliance to put into the Lake Hickory Trails fund. These local trails receive a lot of activity each year & this donation will be put to good use for future maintenance. • Thank you, thank you #nccyclocross for giving back!!! #lakehickorytrails #trailfund #trailsclosetohome #ridenwnc
