Early spring is a great time for bicycling on the dry ridgetops of the George Washington and the Jefferson National Forest's. North Mountain Trail is home to a great network of shared use trail in the Jefferson National Forest west of Roanoke, VA. These trails are cleared in Feb and March for use in the annual Dragon's Tale bicycle event.
Check out some of the amazing video's and photos below of the Dragon's Tale backcountry bicycle event.
Results from 2011 are HERE
A photo gallery is on FACEBOOK - higher res images are in our Picasa gallery below.
Lots of great video clips of the riding below too.
Sue Haywood is a smooth rider. Check out her confident riding along Broad Mountain and down into Ferrier Trail.
Sue gave another nice ride on the final roll in on Ferrier Trail. She is soooo smooth in the corners!
We got to follow Laura Hamm down Deer Trail too. She is fast and smooth. Her front brake stopped working early in the event so she was a little cautious on the switchbacks. She has solid backcountry ethics and wasn't going to skid around the corner just because her brake wasn't working. So she took it easy and walked it around the bend. Thanks Laura!
Doc George covered our backs yet again and made a great video to share with us all. Thanks DOC!
Here is a great slideshow from the event in the SMT Picasa Gallery
