Ok so I got to ride the Riverwalk trail today in RockHill. I thought I died and went to bicycle heaven,,,Veladrome , BMX bitchin race track, pump track , houses and apartments, BIKE LANES all over and one hell of a trail to ride all day long.You can ride trail then hit the greenway and pedal out to the end of it where the canoes load into the water and pedal back, I calll it a cool down run. The trail was and is exactley what I hope Dixie River turns out..The Root climb was a killer though, just had to find the line..How come I don't see them on here on the trailblazers web site..I said to myself it should be and if WWC can't for some uncadly reason why not have interbike there than that place would be great...RAMFB...

Riverwalk is a great trail even tho almost 2 miles were recently lost to construction & more lossage may be on the way in the near future but the developers said that displaced trail would be replaced so we'll see what happens.

Agree, Rock Vegas is a magical place for cycling.  Huge props to Thad and Tom for putting together a truly world class facility.  Think it says a lot when you hire somebody like Mike King to be part of the team - at that point good things just start to happen naturally (it doesn't hurt that he is a class act either).  Believe they are also putting in a cyclo cross track as well. Had a chance to stop at the Pump House restaurant recently and the upper deck is a pretty amazing place for an adult beverage after all that riding.  Great views of the river from the deck. If you haven't been there yet I strongly recommend dropping by.  I'll throw one more plug in. Do yourself a favor and make a point to drop by the weekend of September 30th. That weekend the UCI Supercross World Cup comes to town (BMX). I've watched and worked a couple of these events and it's nothing short of amazing what those riders pull off.
