Hello my fellow Canadians...........this is beginning to be a habit of mine. A good habit though :thumbsup:
Once again I have the big house down in South Carolina for March and April. It is located in the Northwestern tip near some of the best mountain biking (and road biking for that matter) destinations that North America have to offer. There is about 100 miles of maintained single track within a 20min driving radius of the house and countless miles (or km's) in Pisgah, Tsali, Dupont.......... There are even a couple races down there in the months of March and April.
Anywho thought I would spread the word and give you all the opportunity to get in on this sweet deal. Book before Feb 1st and you save a bit of $ as well.
Lots of info can be found here

and I am doing a guided tour of the best trails in the area. Take advantage of what took me 5 years to discover.

*Just a reminder that regular price goes up February 1st to:
-$180 person/week
-$230 couple/week

Still lots of room left on the tour. Don't miss out on the best way to experience the trails down there.

That is all.

Hmmm.

I kind of want to go.

 

[Benno]

If you knew how awesome it is you'd really want to go.

 

[stefanb]

If you knew how awesome it is you'd really want to go.

I can imagine.

My problem will be that I know I will be able to go IN march. Will you consider reduced rates for floor camping? Or even in the backyard?

 

[Benno]

Sorry the contract I sign for the house has a limited number of occupants. $160 is as cheap as she gets. PM or email me if you have questions.

Is that lake Keeowee? I live near Asheville,Nc. and the riding is the best there is on the East coast.Except now its all covered with snow.

 

[Benno]

Yeah it's Lake Keowee. I make day trips to Pisgah and I really like Tsali as well.

If somebody's coming down in May and they are feeling good....

I've done the 12 hrs of Tsali 2 years in a row; May 22nd

 

[Benno]

I'll be doing a couple SERC races again but I'll be back racing in Canada by the end of May.

 

[Cheers!]

How technical is the mountain biking?

 

[Benno]

Starts fairly easy to medium in Issaqueena. There is also a really cool built and maintained DH section with pump track and larger jumps. Also a mini dual slalom course which is fun. That is 20min from the house. Also can get quite technical at Dupont and Pisgah but that is all relative of course. So I would say for the average rider the trails can be very technical bordering on extreme or you can choose to ride easier stuff. There is lots of everything.

 

[Benno]

There's other stuff to do too lol

 

[Cheers!]

daymn!

I was thinking more along the lines of the Jet Skis in teh house photos.

 

[Benno]

Jet skis are the owners. They come and use the apartment above the garage on some weekends as a sort of cottage. They are super nice and take us out on their boat and sometimes if you are extra good, let you use the jet skis.

 

[Benno]

Some weeks are starting to book up with only a few spots left. If you are on the fence might not be a bad idea to make up your mind to avoid disappointment.

 

[thedumbopinion]

I'm heading down...oowwwwe. Can't wait. get those guns loaded.

 

[Benno]

Phone call to gun place last year.

Friend - So I hear you guys have Automatic Tuesdays?
Gun Store Employee - buddy, every day is automatic day.
