Hello All,
Just wanted to give you all a little update. Trail construction has begun for National Championships!!!!! This will be the thread where you can find info and ask your questions.
Builders: Mike Thomas of Boone, NC. Danny Cesare of Etowah, NC. Christopher Herndon of Etowah, NC.
Resort: The resort has been super supportive of this project, they are investing a lot of money to make sure it is done right and to provide an amazing place for you all to come ride. A big thing I need to address is the property....this is private property and there is no trespassing. Please, please respect this as the last thing any of us want to do is upset the people in charge. They want to see this happen but we need to respect their property for the health of the project.
That being said the bigger picture is: 2011 National Champs!!!!! 2011 Qualifying race (date to be determined, lots of conflicts) Select dates for 2012 as an operational bike park. 2012 race series, and of course 2012 National Championships!!!!!!
Volunteer days: We will have some volunteer days and you will be able to find out about them here. I will say it won't be very glamorous work but it is always nice to have some help if you guys are up for it.
Tracks: Pro track is 100% new and has been completely cleared. Amateur track uses 20% existing trail that will be reworked a little. Amateur track is 95% cleared only because we got rained out this afternoon. Both tracks look like they will have a lot of flow and some really unique sections. There will be a builders blog on the Beech Mountain website to find out more as most of you know I don't post on here much, I will try harder.
Hope you guys are as excited as the crew and I are, we can barely walk from the past two days and you still can't wipe the smile off our faces. Hopefully it is something you all will really enjoy.
