Hey everyone,
I'm trying to plan a 3 day weekend trip to WNC with some friends and hit Pisgah and DuPont. There is a lot of info on the web, but I almost don't know where to start. Even though I have some stuff in mind, I was wondering if anyone has any experience planning a trip out there and would offer any recommendations. Ideally, any reccos on;
1. Should we stay in Asheville or Brevard?
2. Best places to stay (near food and adult beverage places)
3. Best shops to go to for repairs and/or trail advice
4. What are the "must hit" trails?
5. Best places to eat
As a bit of background, all of us may not be XC racer shape - but decently fit and we are all very strong technically. Most of us have a BMX and/or DH racing background, so we are looking for the tough stuff and are willing to get beat up on the climbs to enjoy good runs down.
Thanks so much in advance!
Ron L.
