Richmond, VA uni rides

Found this and thought Richmond might be interested:

I’ve been talking with the event planners at the the Mountain Sport Festival here in Asheville

www.mountainsportfestival.com

and they want to have a mountain unicycle component to their festival. I thought it would be a perfect time to host a Southeast Muni Weekend. There are excellent trails around the Asheville area; I’m working up the itinerary right now. The dates are May 4-6, 2007. Have a downhill ride on Friday and Sunday, with a morning ride/race, etc Saturday and a demo/trials comp/ etc that afternoon at the festival grounds (or whatever riders come up with). The trails I think would be great (which you should be able to look up on the net) are Kitsuma, Trace Ridge, Pilot Rock, Spencer Gap, Laurel Mtn…all in Pisgah National Forest, and all legal. I’m looking at getting the Campground at Bentcreek Experimental Forest for us to use. Input, suggestions, help are all encouraged and appreciated. For those of you who think the southeast is flat, check out Western North Carolina, it’s double awesome. I’ve been to Moab and California Muni Weekends and our mountains, though smaller and a lot older, offer world class Muni riding.
