Description

The Rowdy ride meets at the Oskar Blues Brewery parking lot. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early. We'll start with a pre-ride overview of the trails, check our bikes, answer any questions, and then head out into Pisgah. Important details! Bennett is a classic Pisgah black diamond trail. This Rowdy route starts with a gravel climb up Avery Creek Rd then ascends single track through a meadow to a beautiful overlook with views of Looking Glass Rock before the descent starts. The descent includes lots of steep technical terrain — rocks, roots, drops, a steep technical switchback, steep fast steps, and some fast chundery sections. This trail is for advanced riders only. We will take time to soak up the views and session sections of the trail. Skills / Experience Required: Ready to get rowdy on any trails—green, blue or black! Ready for a fast pace, intense, challenging ride with jumps, drops greater than two feet, steep technical climbs, and maybe just a little bit of friendly competition. Endurance Required: Ability to ride 15+ miles in 2–3 hours. Your fitness routine includes lots of cardio, including riding your bike 3–5 times per week. (They say you’re supposed to take recovery days—ugh!) Three hour rides are doable and fun! Can ride fast and hard on any Bent Creek trail. Prefer Pisgah trails like Black Mountain, Avery Creek, Daniel Ridge, Kitzuma, etc.
