It's called the Bike Farm....  there's been lots of press within the past month or so.

I called them up recently about 3 weeks back.  This is where Redbull Dreamline will be hosted this year.  They are building ton's of stuff.  I had planned a camping trip and wanted a place to go chill out after riding in Pisgah/dupont on the down time when not on the trails.  Eventually I believe they will have lodging if not already.  They are currently offering guide service but they will have a bike park on site also.

Right now the only thing complete is the pump track.  It's supposed to be one of the largest tracks possibly stateside according to the guy I spoke to.  He stated full complete loop is about 27-30secs to complete.  I haven't ridden any other pump tracks around the country so... I wouldn't be able to tell how big that would be.  But the guy I spoke to said they had some pro's testing it who were invited down for the Dreamline event and he said there were some spots that even gave some of the pro's some minor problems.  Basically saying it should be pretty legit.

It'll be an awesome place to chill/stay/ride when not on the trails.  Even though the pump track is complete, with their current guide service and not being fully operational yet he told me the pumptrack would be open to riding by appointment only.  So, anyone want to check it out, you should when they open.  They have trails from there leading straight into Dupont.  Supposedly, opening soon this summer.  That was like 3 weeks ago... so, hopefully here in Mid/Late July early Aug.
