Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, right at the base of Mount Mitchell is the small town of Black Mountain, North Carolina - this is where Epic Cycles calls home. From here you can catch a road ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway, ride up and over the famous Highway 9, cross the continental divide and ride down into Lake Lure, North Carolina.
Mountain bikers love the area for the millions of acres of National Forest Land that contains hundreds of miles of trails, right out of the shops back door is Mount Mitchell and the Old Toll Road. The Old Toll Road which has been
abandoned about 100-years ago, is a 15 mile uphill climb to Mount Mitchell. Did we mention that is the highest pike east of the Rockies? Or perhaps a short 2-hour ride down the Kitsuma trail which is just few minutes east of Epic Cycles' shop.
To wash off the trail dust many a mountain biker makes their way to the Pisgah Brewery to talk over the ride, drink some of the local brews and have a laugh.
Yeah it is the life and one we want all of our friends to enjoy!
