I am looking to spend the first three weeks of march training for the XC season. I am from the north and looking for some decent temperatures, gravel roads and preferably XC trails to spend long days on!
A couple of my preferences!
Elevation
No ice/snow
Decent night life. Not city like but a decent town that my wife and I can get dinner in and a beer.
Not looking to be in a city atmosphere
Honestly Flagstaff looks awesome, I really would like to go there but I’m told the trails won’t be good in March from the snow. Anything similar that you guys/girls recommend?
I usually go to North Carolina in March. Decent weather (for someone who is in the middle of winter in Canada). Asheville is cool, and you can stay in a smaller city in the surrounding area. Dupont should make you happy.
Yep, NC mountains are very good for that. Bent Creek is good, lots of gravel type options and lots of climbing. Lots of breweries and good eats around the town. Check out Brevard and The Hub bike shop.
