Is the Upper Gauley navigable on a Specialized Fuse??? (Gauley Fest – Wolf Creek INT MTB)

OVERVIEW

THIS IS COMPLEMENTARY TO THE GAULEY FEST MAIN TRIP YOU WILL NOT GET OFF UNLESS YOU ARE ON THE WAITLIST FOR BOTH

I’ve heard that there’s a cool bike park near the Gauley Fest that has fun, intermediate-level riding. I’ve also heard (from Max T) that if you’re looking for some spicy optional features, you’ll find them. I’ll make sure to reiterate the whole don’t break yourself spiel before the ride, and make sure to thank Max T for the good teachable moment.

But seriously, these trails are very much intermediate friendly and the large features are very much optional. So, if you can’t get on a boat Saturday (which I highly recommend), come join for some fun mountain biking. The plan is to ride around 10-15 miles with maybe 1500′, and keep the pace pretty chill.

Also, after the ride, I plan on heading over to pillow rock to join Jade’s Gauley-viewing trip and enjoy the afternoon on the river. Plus we’ll make a biscuit world run for breakfast. What’s there not to love?
