It also holds multiple national championships in D-1 Cycling
Well, it looks like I'm going to the highest school east of the Mississippi!
- Thread starter sstalder5
- Start date
I don't think there's a bit of land in this state that is that low...
showoff...
bottom of the black canyon?
Same...
My university sits at ~5000 feet with 11000 foot peaks a stones throw away.
TRY AGAIN.
Lees McRae has a pretty nice slalom course, and you aren't far from wilson's and most of the good stuff
Congratulations and good luck!
Theres also plenty of xc on and near campus and keeping up with the roadie team should be fun since Im probably going to do that. Not D-1 though, I am most likely doing D-1 for mountain biking though.
congrats mang! their coach was scoping out noah at the Sugar Mtn Nationals in '07...said if he was still riding/racing in high school to give him a call 
be careful though...i think the local po-po have an ordinance against white boys bumping gangsta rap in their subies

Nice! I haven't talked to the LMC coaches yet but warren wilson has wanted me for a while. That place is weird though..congrats mang! their coach was scoping out noah at the Sugar Mtn Nationals in '07...said if he was still riding/racing in high school to give him a call

And at least my subie will blend in a little up there.
Doesn't everyone????be careful though...i think the local po-po have an ordinance against white boys bumping gangsta rap in their subies
Yeah I went to the open house, mostly so my parents would pay for a trip to the dirt jumps.
The dirt jumps were sick and some of the people were nice, but the majority were hipster freaks
Nope.
At least he doesn't have to share a border with Nebraska.
Always with the negative waves, Moriarity...
Never attended UCSC.*
*unless getting admitted and attending a class for a week counts.

Yeah, well my school is at about 30 feet above sea level...beat that!
No it doesn't.
Mine is bigger.
You suck
Warren Wilson is a 10 minute drive to Asheville. From Warren Wilson, you can be in Bent Creek parking lot in 20 minutes and get an education that is highly touted. Lees McRae is 30 minutes to Boone. The education you get at Lees McRae allows you to say you went to school down the road from ASU. Both are colleges sure, but nobody goes to either for the education, just the amenities.
But what's this about D-1 cycling? I could put that school in my pocket. ASU is not even D1 in regular athletics. Is cycling different?

coming from you, not sure if the weirdness was the campus' fault or yours
Yeah, we're just that good.Warren Wilson is a 10 minute drive to Asheville. From Warren Wilson, you can be in Bent Creek parking lot in 20 minutes and get an education that is highly touted.

Good luck in college, young monkey.
Colorado's lowest point is on the Arikaree River, along the Kansas border near Nebraska border, at 3320 feet. God, what a great state
huh, i thought this thread was going to be about you getting into j state.
Butch- ASU will be D1 this coming year as well but its through school size although, our cycling team is pretty strong now I'd say. LMC has it going on as far as training for riding, sure, a 20 minute car ride isn't a lot but, having xc trails in the back yard and great road riding without having to get in traffic like LMC has is great. We make the trip over that way regularly to ride since its the closest xc to Boone and it still sucks when you ride daily. I just hope you aren't going there for an education
Yeah I got to ride the DS track and the jumps for about an hour yesterday. Theres a lot of stuff out there by the gym! And as far as academics go, Im probably going to take all my basics there then transfer to app to focus on a major. I hadn't heard about app going D1 though.

the view from the bottom of the ds track. The main campus is out in the distance at the bottom of the mountain.
Nope. I want to start out at a small school just to get a feel for college. LMC is about half the size of my high school
App State is a pretty small college too. Man, I regret going to Western Carolina instead. Picked it b/c it was remote and thought it would keep me from partying my degree away at a place like UNC. Instead, WCU was among the top 10 party schools in the nation, but I rode my MTB 4-5 days a week there, so it all worked out.
I'd have had a much better dose of culture at App State.
And DSapp, even I would kill to do the road loops in that area. I've got tons out my door here, but nothing like that stuff. To think, I could ride out the front door of my office on my road bike and in 30 seconds, be on the BRP straight up to Blowing Rock and never a traffic light.
We have it good in Western N.C.
