Charlotte's Top Mountain Bike Trails

I was bored tonight and really avoiding work, so I created a March Madness bracket to finally settle Charlotte's favorite trail system. 

If you like the technical back breaking work at Backyard, the flowy fast pace of Sherman, or the Climbs and Jumps of Poston or Uwharrie, now is the time to vote. The site goes live tomorrow morning and runs until April 8th, with the winner announced that night. Each round lasts 5 days (i think as the website was not clear on dates. Champion may actually be announced on the 13th.)

I apologize for the ads, rankings were based loosely on what i like.

Nice idea.  The potential Sherman Branch v. Lake Norman 2nd round match up will be epic!

The 3 Round 1 updates is all i can see too. Once I activated the brackets any admin ability to edit or revise the information were taken away. I wish i could see who was leading all the votes too as it is getting more hits than i thought.

Sweet Bracket.  Don't know how I'll vote when or if it comes down to my "rough around the edges but damn she's fun" girl Fisher and "I could take her home to meet my mom" LKNSP Cheesy

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

Totally agree with this.  Sorry to you Catawba lovers, RRT is the BoM for climb lovers. 
PS. I'm not one but i sure do try.  Shocked

Round One Results are complete with those moving on to the second round being 

Lake Norman State Park vs. Sherman Branch
Poston Park vs. Uwharrie
Rocky River Trail vs. Backyard
USNWC vs. Beatty

This round is going to be even harder to choose.

Round One Results are attached. the check marks are my vote not the winner.
