  • Did you know there are such thing as season mtb trails? I didn't either, but Cat and Butter Gap out here in Pisgah forest are, and today is the last day of the season to ride them... so naturally, my friends and I are getting out for my first and final ride on this trail for the season!

    Love watching your rides as always. It makes me smile to hear you get so excited on the trail. My son was one of the gromms eating ice cream at The Hub. It truly made his day to meet you and then hear you mention it on this video. Thanks for being such a stand up guy. Hopefully we can catch you on a trail sometime. 🤘

    I was introduced to that route last year right before its was closed for hiking only. There is a spot after that muddy section with a bit of a ledge next to the creek, I out my hand on the ledge while waiting for the group and got a hand full of snake. it scared me so bad I flipped off into the water still clipped into my bike. Not my finest moment but I did get it on GoPro but I also ripped a big hole in my pants. Anyway.... great video depicting that route.

    ButterCat! Long Branch is a good option as well if you haven't been on it.

  • @jonk8916
    @jonk8916 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the best trails in Pisgah. Just to clarify, Butter Gap down to Long Branch is NOT seasonal, the lower part from there and all of Cat Gap are seasonal for mtb use. Another seasonal one, if you haven't ridden it, is North Slope, it is super fun either direction and opens Oct 15-Apr15 for bikes.
    Sadly, this is probably going to be the last season you can ride Butter and Cat though. Butter Gap is slated to be re-routed this year and Cat Gap will be closed to bikes entirely for good when the re-route happens. Basically none of the existing trail will remain unless they've changed the plan since I saw it last.

    You hit a LOT of water and mud on this ride.
    How do you clean up yourself and bike after?
    I am a truck driver and I tend to avoid water and mud because I don’t have running water to clean with.
    That trail looks fun though I feel like I’m still a rookie though I’m not a novice.
    I used to ride trail 100 in Phoenix weekly back in the 90s before suspension was a thing.

    Man, your reactions when you ride to the trail and what it’s like is great. That trail was sick, some parts almost Red in grade, I’d hope they don’t change the trail as it looked amazing as it was, just a shame it’s not all year round. Anyway, keep up great content!

      Hi Shane! part of the rerouting team here. unfortunately that trail is too far gone to keep open to the public. the reroute will have an AWESOME backcountry feel though. can’t wait for it to be rideable sometime later this year.

    Been riding hiking trails for years w crazy roots and climbs/descents not made for bikes. This is nothing Bro. Young riders have no clue what trails were like 25 years ago. MTB trails are so "groomed" now.
