Give Moutain Biking a Try This Year

Give Moutain Biking a Try This Year
Tim Long

It looks intimidating, the cool clothes, the fancy bikes, trails, jumps, but that's just the face of a great sport for all abilities.

The best place to start to get information on everything from how to choose your first bike to which trail is perfect for beginners is the Tarheel Trailblazers Mountain Bike Club. They have trail reviews, links to bike-related information, photos, riding clinics, and, best of all, a message forum where information is shared by riders of all abilities ranging from first timers to the staunch veteran.

The Tarheel Trailblazers were founded in 1990 by a handful of local mountain bike enthusiasts. Over the years the club has grown to over 300, resourceful, energetic and active men and women of all ages. Our volunteers work directly with local land managers, building and assisting in the maintenance of what will soon approach 75 miles of carefully constructed, sustainable mountain bike trails, in the Metro - Charlotte region. We are the voice of advocacy for mountain bikers and our goal is to build and maintain trails for all mountain bikers to enjoy for generations to come.
