As the previous post suggests, June 7 is the date to go on. This was announced by the West Dist. Superintendent at a Mar 26 meeting. The Northwest NC MTB Alliance is looking for individuals in the Lake James vicinity to get involved. There will be some fine tuning needed to get these trails ready, and more locals in the area can help possibly get them "softly" open sooner. In addition, FYI, an MOU with a long term maintenance agreement in the works as well as a plan for future advanced trails. Contact the Alliance if you are interested in this or have any questions about what the Chapter is doing.solid beta
