PSA:
TRAIL CLOSURE:
The trails will be reopening to public access on the 18th of October at 10:00.
The new access will be using the right of way gravel road under the transmission lines. These will be signed and a new map will show the way.
We have been very busy while the trail has been closed. We have added more than 1.25 miles of advanced trail (Siren Trail and Underpass) with lots of new features to ride.
Located at 400 Mountain Island Drive, Mount Holly on the Carolina Thread Trail. This is a growing sweet ride. After getting warmed up on the new access route (1mile one way) you can enter the single track at Bridge #1 on the CTT. Bear to right for a quick lap or two on the beginner Boardwalk Loop. When you’re to ready step it up a notch hop onto the intermediate Outer and Inner Loops. After climbing through bermed switchbacks, you’ll be treated to a fast downhill that runs through the trees complete with bermed turns and rollers culminating with several ladder bridges. You can then jump on the River trail and enjoy a nice XC ride along the river or branch off and hit K2 and K34. Each one starts with a series of climbing switchbacks to the second and third peak respectively in the park. The exciting descent cuts across mostly side slope which has lots cool features to hit and beautiful views of the river. Both trails will put you where the loops start in case you want to hit either one again or you can easily continue on to next part of the trail system. More miles and cool things to come!

With the new trail getting ready to open, MIPT will have almost 7 miles of single track and 4 miles (out and back) of CTT. Go enjoy.
We have more miles flagged and will continue to grow. Watch our Facebook page for updates and future workdays. We look forward to seeing you out there.
