One of the things I discovered in Asheville is the Canadian TV series Trailer Park Boys. If you like Reno 911 (which I have yet to get into)... you'll love TPB. CB brought a DVD set down... Canadian humor at it's finest.
Asheville is a very cool town... a little on the hippy side for yours truly... but the riding is AMAZING. We stayed at the Bent Creek trail head near the NC Arboretum; the Blue Ridge Parkway was less than a mile away. Sunday morning, Cole, Ben and I conquered Mt. Pisgah before mountain biking for a couple of hours. The Parkway was "closed"... meaning we had free reign of the pavement; the only obstacles being some ice in the tunnels (just about pitch black!) and some leaves/rocks/limbs. It's a shame we don't have mountains like that in Virginia. Granted I won't trade Virginia for anything else... but we did a solid 18 miles on continuous climbing! I was hoping to get past 6000'; but the next climb was too far away for the time we had. Nevertheless... it was a lot of fun.

Yeah... starting from the James River on the other side it's a solid 13 miler going from 650' to just under 4000. Want to head out there sometime? Hit me up.
Sounds like fun!!!
