Hey hey DWB, welcome! I've heard great things about the trails over in Boone. Isn't there a 24 hour race there? Hoping you will find our trails to be enjoyable. We have four different parks to show everyone. We are SO excited! The Fest doesn't include any sort of racing -- just a bunch of riding, biking camaraderie and socializing, checking out factory demo bikes, bike games, cooking out, more riding, etc. See you in June!!
