A friend and I are heading to Dupont and Pisgah for the weekend. I am only used to XC trails in Michigan and Mid-TN. Will I die this weekend?

Dead

 

[NashVis]

Will it at least be a good ride...you know...before the dead part?

 

[Maida7]

Death will be slow and very painful. If your lucky death will average 5 MPH

Watch out for the badgers. Those suckers are mean and all over the trails this time of year.

Probably just air lifted out. I mean, yes we will all die at some point but you might make it this weekend. I hope you have good maps. Dupont is well marked but there are a LOT of trails and turns. Pisgah, not so well marked depending on where you are.

You will have the time of your life. Rode there last weekend for the first time. Did 60 miles. Can't wait to go back. Pay the money for the expensive little maps though.

Can I have your bike?

Lisa: Do you think we're going to die?
Bart: We're all going to die, Lisa.
Lisa: I meant tonight.
Bart: So did I.

Read my quote under my Avatar, I'm referring to the easy trails in Pisgah.

I had to get hauled out of Dupont in an ambulance 3 months ago, but that only happens occasionally. Nothing like paying $600 for a 15 minute ride.

What Michigan trails are you used to?

If you think you're gonna die remember that pisgah has very poor, if any, cell coverage. Better call your mom now and get some things off your chest. Most first time visitors don't live to make the "Don't worry moma most of the bleeding has stopped, and the helicopter is on its way..." call.

5mph is actually quite fast for Pisgah. I'd plan on a much, much slower death

Heck, even Rob V knows where its safe to ride...

The key word was lucky. Or maybe it was painful or death :lol:

Quick, somebody call the amber lamps, he leakin.

I'm alive.
Great place to ride. The uphills are only going to be difficult if you are carrying around too much redundant tissue. Dupont was a cute place. I can see how people might try to write up Pisgah as a great place to ride, but the thing is it wasn't made for bikers. So...yeah...it's difficult to bike up a trail that was not designed to be ridden up - just like it would be hard to drive a sports car down a jeep trail.

Cheese with that whine? You analogy is gay.

You must be a local.
