The trail looks cool, sadly as someone who has had multiple knee surgeries I will not be retuning to the Brevard area until they become less hostile toward ebikes. I can rip the downhills, but my knees won't take the long climbs and with options like Jared's place, Snowshoe, Wind rock, and Bentonville I can't see myself returning until they get with the times. It is sad to see such an awesome place to ride excluding the fastest growing section of the bike industry.
I’m with you! I don’t understand the policies either. Make it make sense, especially with the SL e-bikes that are virtually indistinguishable from regular bikes.
They're proud they've kept ebikes out. They say they don't need/want the usership. But the horses don't make an imprint on the trails... They have explanations, but none of it was convincing.
I’m not great with Pisgah navigation, but we left the fish hatchery, and rode up gravel singletrack next to the river for a bit, and ended up going up Searcy to Parkay to new butter DH (per Strava, not sure what the actual names are). Some of what we rode was brand new, but it was all new to me.
If you are not strong enough to climb Pisgah with a light bike what makes you think that you are strong enough to safely descend Pisgah with a heavy e-bike without harming yourself and more importantly other trail users.

I agree, I just don’t want to spend my day climbing. I’d rather get more laps in and climbing sucks 😂
Looks like discrimination against senior citizen and people with mobility issues
I need me some pisgha ASAP 🤙🏾
Marc, are you on Strava? I would like to check out this trail/ride.
@@iradeere5072 yes! Marc Calderone.
I'm confused which route you took -- Long Branch to Lower Butter?

Would you mind posting a link to the route you took?
My Strava cutoff at some point. Let me see what I can share
