    Glad you found Hickory Mtn Loop in great shape. The Friends of Dupont Forest trail volunteers put a ton of effort into that trail this summer.

    I live 3 hours from there and try to hit it a few times a year. Just to let you both know there is a Red Roof Inn in Hendersonville which is only 15 miles from there, price is great and the best part is they're 'bike friendly' so you can bring in your 7 grand a piece bikes in the room with you so no need to worry about having attached to the back on your vehicle. I sold my 2019 Instinct BC maybe 8 months ago and thinking of either a 2021 Yeti SB-115 or a 2021 RM Instinct carbon 90, i can get serious prices on both, at age 66 probably the last trail/FS bike i will buy. I was at Dupont a few years ago and saw 2 cubs and then the 'Momma so i did a QUICK 180 and rode 20 mins then came back down. I have been up to Isaac, etc. a few times, very scenic, i have those signs posted to my FB page, Tarkiln branch, etc. too

    Great video! You guys are riding nice uncrowded trails at the perfect time of year. Sooo jealous 😂 and Kate's new wheels get the Batman seal of approval - seriously decked out 👍
    Looking forward to your next!

    hey k five, awesome vid. i bike in north carolina all the time. i just got back from tasali. i like brayson city nc. been trying to get up to brevard. i have talked with you before on here. you said ya'll get up there only about 2 times a year. i mean ya'll post vids from there more than that. but that's what it's about. i am riding a trek rosco7, it's a fun ride . stricly trail bike. runn'in fat tires. its awesome. now a question, how does dupont compare to tasali? pisga is up there to. i like the trails ya'll ride. i am a good rider, i just don't like way over the edge tech'y stuff. i can do tech , but i like flow and mid tech kind of rides. how is the town of brevard? you are way lucky to be rid'in with a pretty chic as your rid'in partner. good luck and stay safe. keep on keep'in on!!!1
