I grew up with mountain biking adventures in Pisgah National Forest. I'm now 27 and am still making new discoveries in this backyard treasure. The appalachians are the oldest and the best. I've recently moved into a house that I was working on for over a year. The property essentially borders the Blue Ridge Parkway and is within striking distance of the Bent Creek trail system. Riding just got a lot easier and work a lot harder. There is no doubt that I could spend the rest of my days raising fruit trees, berries, bees, and veggies; and riding bikes hard. I might need kayaks as well. But, alas, I am a builder, a carpenter, a contractor, or some combination of the above. I'm psyched to be living here and excited to get out on the newest evolution of the genesis geometry. I'm going to crush some snakes in Eden with my genesis.
