26 West Mountain Bike Park – Grand Opening!

August 15, 2008

Hello Friends,

We hope everyone is great and enjoying this really nice weather we’ve been having lately.

We wanted to let you all know that 26 West Mountain Bike Park’s will hold its Grand Opening and official Ribbon-Cutting on Saturday, August 23. Those of you that have been up to the park know how sweet the area is, so the 23rd is going to be a great day up there! Here is the word on the Park from the official website:

The Southeast’s only lift-assisted Mountain Bike Park! Only 25 miles north of Asheville, NC, 26 West Mountain Bike Park is located just off Interstate 26 West at Breakaway Village in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Trails are designed for everyone from beginner, intermediate to expert. Hardtail, short and long-travel dual suspension bike rentals and lessons are available onsite. Bring your bike or rent ours, either way you’ll enjoy a day of quick chair-lift rides to the top for a day full of descending!

So if you can make the trip head on up to 26 West on Saturday August 23 for the Grand Opening! For more information on 26 West, please visit www.26westmountainbikepark.com.

Please remember the Saturday Morning MOB MTB Ride leaves the shop at 9:30 am to head over to Salem Lake. The Monday Night Advanced MTB Ride will take place at Hobby Park at 6:30 pm this week. The ride meets in the parking lot over there. Also, the Casual MTB Ride led by Erika von Isenburg will take place on Tuesday evening this week. This ride meets in the parking lot of the Visitor’s Center at Tanglewood Park at 6 pm. And as usual, the Tuesday Night Special road ride will leave at its normal time of 6:15 on Tuesday from the shop.

Thanks and we’ll see you soon!
