Lodging
We’re staying at the Davidson Campground within easy biking distance of some of Pisgah’s best trails! This is a primitive campsite! The facility does provide hot showers and flush toilets, though.
Two 16-person campsites are booked - we recommend carpooling as much as possible!
Alternatively, you can certainly look for Airbnb options nearby!
Trails
We’ll have ride options to suit a variety of skill levels and preferences over the long weekend! Check out Trailforks to start getting a feel for the area!
Note that eBikes are NOT allowed in the National Forest, to include all of Pisgah and DuPont.
Family Time
If you want to bring a partner/spouse/friend/children who are not mountain bikers, this is a great opportunity for them, too! There are plenty of hiking opportunities nearby, plus museums, shopping, and more in Brevard.
Gathering Time
HAMR will provide the main dish for a cookout at the campground Saturday night. BYOB and a side to share if you'd like! We'll go out as a group other nights. Breakfast and lunch is on you - pack something to have trailside in the afternoons and to cook for breakfast in the mornings! Make sure you also have plenty of water for the weekend!
