"Hidden" Gem of the Charlotte Trail System

Shout out to Steve and Rocky River Trail!

Got to ride RRT this past weekend for the first time in about a year, and that place is AWESOME!

Yes the climbs are tough... but the payoff is SO worth the work! RRT has some of the most fun downhills and amazing singletrack in Charlotte!

Every time I get to ride there I ask myself why its been so long!

And if you're new to riding, or just not ready for the No-Name climb yet, Steve has built a green loop that includes some fun sections, with fewer climbs, so you can get a taste!

Steve, it was great meeting you and talking with you while I took a breather after the Gorge Climb. Thanks for all you do for the mountain biking community!!!

It is Scott.  The green loop will bypass the tough climbs but if you want to try one then do the first which is the River climb.  That one is mostly long and winding and not as steep as the others, yet it's no slouch as far as climbs go.  The downhill to the river before the climb is a really fun part of the trail.
