...or maybe its been out for a while and I've been too busy riding there to pay attention.

Apparently Pisgah is on the national scene as a "go to" ride destination. Ive always thought of it as a local sweet spot for us Southerners, or for all ya'll carpetbaggin' southern transplants.

With all the new traffic, I hope it doesn't lose what people are coming there to experience.

When I lived up in Michigan, Pisgah and Tsali were popular destinations just like Moab, Crested Butte, and West Virginia. A few of the mountain bike tour companies offered vacation options for western NC. Western Spirit was one of the more popular options.But I remember people back in the late 90's early 21st century wanted to ride the most technically advanced trails possible. It seems everybody wants flow now. But in Brevard,you have choices. DuPont for Flow, Pisgah for Blood. It's all good. Great Beer culture there also Wink

Like the taps in the LBS. 

Mark, I think you could fit a single tap/keg in the work area. Cool Not sure what kind of permit/hassles are involved in that though. Although that may involve me paying you for beer vs. just stealing what you have in the back.

When ever I travel out of town and run across a group of mtn bikers the conversion seams to always include Tsali & Pisgah when they find I'm from the CLT area.

Government has no reason to use common sense or be efficient as it pays no price for failure.

There is no way that doesn't increase sales.  I know I don't NEED x0 vs. x9, but after a few beers, who doesn't want the carbon derailur?
