Adventure Tips
Hydrate before and during your ride
Pisgah’s humid climate means you should carry at least 2 liters of water to stay energized on technical trails.
Check your brake pads
The steep descents and granite sections demand reliable brakes; ensure pads are in good shape before hitting Pisgah’s trails.
Wear a full-face helmet for technical sections
Some parts of the trails have high-speed descents and rocky terrain—extra head protection is highly recommended.
Start with a warm-up on easier trails
Pisgah’s trails vary in difficulty, so spend 15-20 minutes warming up on gentler terrain to prevent injury.
