NEW TRAILS in NW Georgia | Durham Trails, Cloudland Canyon S.P.

[@mitch_smith]

i had no clue those trails where there. I stopped riding about 10 years back. just got a bike this week and can't wait. that's gonna be my new local.

[@dustydrums8]

Stopped here on an 11-day road trip years ago. Hiked a little bit but put a pin in it to take the bike back one day if I’m ever down there again. I saw a handful of bikes during my hike and was very curious what the trails were like. Look pretty awesome!

Chattanooga Tn, offers e-bike riders many options for recreational use. From bike riding downtown to hitting the mountains and everything in between.

[@midlifeshredder]

Yes it does! And speaking my of the Noog, got a new episode you’ll want to check out today at 3pm Central. 😉

[@Bike4adventure]

nice ride! Trails looked pretty good! I can't wait till our snow is gone here in Canada!

[@midlifeshredder]

Welcome down here in the Southeast anytime, we barely got any snow this year!

[@jking54544]

Sweet trails! Counting the days until we're able to ride our trails around here.

[@midlifeshredder]

A lot is happening here in the Southeast! Makes for a good bike trip!! 😉

[@mikegehard6402]

Fugget clockwise is rough uphill. Best ridden counter clockwise even with the long climb out. 😀

[@midlifeshredder]

I was curious. It does seem the climb out would be harder the opposite way I went. 🤙🏼

[@mikegehard6402]

@@midlifeshredder oh it is…I did it yesterday. The switchbacks are pretty much unclimbable. 😂

[@midlifeshredder]

@@mikegehard6402 ouch!

My 4th great grandfather Noah Fugatt had 150 acres there and opened coal mines there in the 1840s

[@brandihodges9548]

Nice! Just booked an Airbnb close to the trail network so we can ride it and pop down to Ride BHM also (if weather cooperates).

[@midlifeshredder]

Chattanooga is such a great central location to so much! Have a great time!

[@onlysendsmtb]

I was wondering if these trails were Eeb friendly. Guess so! Shoulda put some b-roll of the stairs hike to the amazing waterfalls in there!

[@midlifeshredder]

Very E-friendly and recommend for those with climbing deficiencies like me! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jking54544]

@@midlifeshredder Not gonna lie ... when I hear that little motor on your bike kick in I'm jealous. I too am climbing deficient

[@frgibson]

Trailforks says these aren't ebike friendly. Must not be enforced. Fine with me. I have a Class 1 Orbea Rise ebike.

[@millerman692]

Midlife guy, when are you available to ride these trails with me?

[@midlifeshredder]

Group ride? 🤔 Something I’ve been thinking of.

[@millerman692]

@@midlifeshredder A group is fine, I'm up for either, just want to ride with someone who knows the trails well.

[@midlifeshredder]

@@millerman692 I don’t live in the area. There’s a Chattanooga MTB group on FB, May want to connect with riders there.

[@pjsanab]

Too much xc for my taste but love the video. You saved me a trip. Thanks.

[@midlifeshredder]

I wouldn’t say it has too much XC but there is quite a bit of climbing. If you know the Cloudland Canyon trails it’s to be expected. 😉

[@thespradman]

so... watching this counts as a workout right?? I feel like it should... #middleagefitness?? 😎🙃

[@midlifeshredder]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jeroenberger9064]

I am 47 and STILL haven’t degraded myself to an electric mountainbike, and I never will. E mountainbiking has nothing to do with mountainbiking. Make an efford and invest in a good, light mtb and start doing it on your own strength.

[@midlifeshredder]

👊🏼 Man, good for you for rocking that single speed rigid 26er with no dropper on black trails! Keep up the great work!

[@ericirwin6074]

You have no idea what waits for you in 20 years. None of us do.

[@zionite24]

Good for you buddy don’t get an EBike. Who asked your thoughts on Ebikes? They have there place just like full suspension, downhill, enduro, cross X, gravel, different tools.

[@Jeff-bw5xn]

@@zionite24 You are cheating yourself.

[@zionite24]

@ I can say the same about you. Luckily we have choices.
