Quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Just substitute trails for castle.
Listen, lad. I've built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. All the kings said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. More...

A few updates to tell you about... The first you may already be aware of but the big news this week is that CFSORBA has signed an MOU with NHC Parks. It is a big step forward in the working relationship between the county and the new club, and the county has been very positive. More...

This was from a ride back last May, which is the last time I made it out to FATS (and yes, it's killing me not to have ridden FATS since last May). Ed and I rode all the trails there. I was trying to get to 50 miles but we ended up with 43. More...

So with the recent heavy rains that seem to occur with weekly frequency, the local trails have become a sloppy muddy mess. And it's not just Blue Clay...UNCW was also underwater on Sunday as John unexpectedly discovered. More...

Here's some pics of a ride that Ed, Mike, and I have been doing on Sunday mornings. This is unique in that we ride the road, trails, and beach in one ride on the same bikes. That's something you can't do in most places, and you read about it here first. More...

This was day two of our annual trip I make to Pisgah with Ed in November. This was Saturday Nov 14 where we rode DuPont State Forest. I had missed the ride in DuPont the previous month due to weather. More...

So on our way to our annual gathering in Pisgah, Ed, Mark, Jimmy, and I met in Columbia, SC to ride the trails in Harbison State Forest. The park is right off of I-26, so it makes a perfect stop along the way. More...

This past weekend's event was a huge success. Special thanks goes out to everyone that participated. I hope that you got as much out of it as I did. And I can't thank Kelly and Collins enough for coming here and sharing their vast wealth of knowledge with us. More...

Took a trip to Pisgah not too long ago. It rained. But I did get a couple of good rides in. The first one was when I first got to the campsite at Davidson River on Saturday afternoon around 4pm. About 15 minutes after I parked the car at the site and setup the tent I was riding up the road. More...

It's been about two years since I've ridden Beaver Dam. The last time I was there it was about 100 degrees heat index. The nice thing about these trails is that they total more than 15 miles, for a nice long ride without repeating the same trail over again. More...

I'm a mountain biker, who lives by the beach. So when I travel to ride I like to get to the biggest hills I can find because there aren't any where I live. But what about the family? They can't ride the trails I ride. More...

On Sunday low tide was around three in the afternoon. I decided to try completing the northern half of Topsail Island (pronounced top-sul). Ed, Michael and I had done the southern half a month or so ago, but the northern half (if you start where I did a few blocks north of the Surf City pier) is longer by about 5 miles. More...

There was a town here once. But then a coal mine caught on fire back in the 60's and it's been burning ever since. The entire town has been relocated, except for a handful of people who refused to leave. More...
