7:30 Meet in the parking lot behind First Flight Bicycles

8:00  Leave First Flight Bikes to head up to the Pisgah Forest area, near Asheville, for 4-5 hours of riding.   In 2005 and 2006 we rode in the Davidson River area of the Pisgah Forest.  2007 found us at North Mills River and in 2008, we visited DuPont State Forest.  The DuPont ride was cited by regulars as their favorite ride so we plan to visit it again in 2009.
