Bearhoti Is THE Best Mountain Bike Trail In Georgia!

I've ridden (mostly) every mountain bike trail in Georgia by now, and I can say hands down, Bearhoti is my favorite trail in Georgia, combining Bear Creek Trail with the Pinhoti Trails. It gives off a little bit of that Pisgah feel in a small way. It's in noway Pisgah, but it's as close as you can get without leaving Georgia! One thing about me is, I love to climb to be rewarded with a decent. I've never been a fan of XC trails, which if those types of trails are your jam, you're in luck, because Georgia has quite a few XC trails! I love riding out in the mountains though, where everyone is so spread out riding.
The one place I still haven't been to is Jarrod's Place! Hopfully I'll be able to check it out in the coming months!

Riding a bike in the woods is awesome - thanks for the very nice video

[@ericstrauss9717]

You running I 9's. Great video, I live 8 miles from Bear creek my hood. Before the Hemlock blight it was unreal. I have watched snow storms blow in and /hen try to ou ride them, we had to stop multiple times to try and get feelings in our hands, was so damp and cold...cheers

[@freestyle88]

Cool. I did Bear Creek and Pinhoti 2 & 3 in July this year. Half of Bear Creek just felt like a narrow gravel road... and the singletrack was ultra worn and choppy... I wasn't super impressed. Beautiful scenery though. It got more fun when I just slowed down and looked around...

Being the only one on the mountain is worth more than gold to me.

[@MorganBishopp]

I 100% agree with this when I'm hiking. I mountain bike a lot on my own, so I guess I just like knowing there is atleast 1 person out there if I were to have a bad crash. 😅 I agree though, there really is nothing better than being alone on top of a mountain.

[@-NewDay-]

I love your videos! It’s such a treat lol. It’s getting cold where I live, Asheville NC, and I’m trying to figure out what to wear on the mountains. ❤

[@MorganBishopp]

Thank you so much! That’s always me, during the fall/winter, haha.

[@nancybryson5488]

I greatly enjoyed this video and so impressed with your energy! Liked seeing a little bit of Shakerag Road.

[@scottanderson4175]

On my first road bike ride I thought 🤔 oh so this is what it’s supposed be like 😱 I really like longer rides !

[@DeandreMurray]

I'm terrified of spiders, but MTB has my heart so I deal haha. The faster you go the less it matters! haha

[@MorganBishopp]

This is true! 😂🤣

[@garyharmon5386]

Amazing ride and video.

[@MorganBishopp]

Thank you!!

[@paulchase451]

it the best trail in GA by far...perfect for a day trip from Atlanta

[@MorganBishopp]

100% agree!!

[@bigjohnsmountainbiking4749]

Can’t believe you cut all the creek crossings out!!! That’s my favorite part.

[@MorganBishopp]

I’ll leave them in next time!

[@bigjohnsmountainbiking4749]

@@MorganBishopp Great video!!!

[@khoi_tran]

I did the mulberry shuttle and rode Bear to P1. It's definitely a hoot and pisgahish! I couldn't imagine climbing up that LONG gravel road to get to the top of bear eek! Jarrod's is a blast! I still can't believe you haven't rode it! Every fall/winter I do a bike park tour of Kanuga, Ride Rock, and Jarrod's.

[@MorganBishopp]

That's awesome! I know!! I keep saying I need to check it out, but still haven't! Love Kanuga! I haven't heard of Ride Rock before, I will have to look it up!

[@daniellawrence863]

The worst part of riding early or first on the trail for me.. spider webs!!

[@MorganBishopp]

1,000% Yessss!!!

[@face2facewitchu]

You think you're not afraid of spiders, until you end up with a 5 inch orb weaver on your face.....

[@MorganBishopp]

I don't want any of those passangers, lol! I've had a large one get caught on my bike, but luckly not on me, lol. Fall is the worst, huge spiders everywhere!

[@tomassanesson902]

Amazing video and trail🤙💪

[@MorganBishopp]

Thank you!!

[@mattpoe9391]

Thanks for posting this! I live 30 minutes away but almost never ride here. You inspired me to get back and ride this. Regarding the video quality, honestly it was just okay. Maybe play with the settings some.

[@MorganBishopp]

So glad it inspired you to get out there! It's hands down my favorite area to ride in Georgia. Thank you for that feedback too! I've made some changes since, but still trying to make small tweaks to get the footage dialed in more.

[@dems_mtb]

Nice riding!

[@MorganBishopp]

Thank you!!

[@rashman763]

Nice trail i usually go early btw whta mtb u rode thanks

[@MorganBishopp]

I have the Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon C R+!

[@newenglandagingrider1738]

Nice trail. It looks like a lot of fun. That is a long morning ride. You should consider changing out that rear hub for something quieter. It takes away from your dialog when you are not pedaling.

[@MorganBishopp]

It's a blast! I actually just upgraded my hub to the i9 Hydra Boost. Lol, I'm one of those people that loves a loud hub, haha. I feel like it doubles as a bell too, so hikers can hear me.

[@Mcnabb-mtb]

Hi I’m racing at bearhoti how steep is the climb we’re getting shuttled to the start of the trail

[@MorganBishopp]

That’s awesome! What race is it? I didn’t even hear about it! To me, P1 is the hardest climb on Bearhoti. It goes up to a 14-19% grade in a few spots, but overall it’s about a 4-6% grade. Since you’re getting shuttled up to the start, P1 will probably be a lot easier with your legs still being fresh. P2 is the easiest climb on the route in my opinion and a blast. Have fun and good luck!

[@Mcnabb-mtb]

@@MorganBishopp it got canceled today

[@Mcnabb-mtb]

They said to many people signed up for it to late

[@Mcnabb-mtb]

So there were twice the amount of riders than there was supposed to be

[@Mcnabb-mtb]

@@MorganBishopp thank you

[@amc5926]

the edited out the beautiful creek crossings? bummer. also, i got ZERO cell service there and honestly, that is a concern you should have brought up as a lone biker, esp as a woman. if something were to happen, unless you have a satellite phone on you? - you'd be screwed.

[@MorganBishopp]

It was still cool out when this video was shot, so I rode through the streams slow and edited those out to keep the flow of the video. I do get somewhat decent cell service along the way here. I think it’s important for everyone when going into more rural areas alone or not, female or male, to be prepared and to always share trail info with someone before going and to pack accordingly. I have a SAT that I carry, but even with that, the tree coverage is so dense, it’s harder to get out unless it’s during the winter. Happy trails!
