Haywood Landing, Stella, NC (Hyw 58). Part of the Croatan National Forest, this set of trails is about as rugged and remote as we get. With 5 miles of single track on the West (Landing) side of the Hwy 58 and 15+ miles on the East side, you can spend the day getting in a lot of riding. Miles of scenic wilderness, tight singletrack and log piles make this course a great get-a-way. During the rainy months it can get a bit wet so bring your waterproof socks.

The Piranha Pit, MCAS Cherry Point, Havelock, NC. My personal favorite, this rugged and rooty trail will challange the best of us. With multiple drops and climbs on short rooty hills and fast packed singlrtrack, "The Pit" makes up for the fact the we're missing mountains here in Eastern Carolina. A great place for the family, this course is located at the Shady Grove picnic area, with camp sites, bathrooms, a playground, ball field and covered pavilion picnic tables. Additionally, with a short, flat, one mile section of the MTB course we call "The Inner Loop" any age and skill level will enjoy riding here. The Club receintly added two new bridges crossing the small creek at the far end of the course. Cross over and check out an additional 1/2 mile of single track.

The Bicycle Post Trail, Greenville, NC. The home course of the ECU team, this trail is well worth the 2 hour drive it takes to get there from Jacksonville. This 8 mile + course was designed to challenge all who ride there taking full advantage of the terrains natural drops, climbs and obsticles. This course has become the home of ECU's "Monkey Chucker 2.4", a 24 hour MTB race that is a BLAST for the Beginner Four Person Team as well as the Veteran Soloist.
From The EC Velo Club: The current trail is approximately 8.5 miles long with a total of 500 vertical feet of climbing (an amazing feat considering that the trail is in the Costal Plain). Many riders think the new trail is better than the old one, and it certainly is as good and is continuing to improve as it gets ridden and additional improvements are made. A map of the trail will be available in the next few months, please visit www.ecvelo.org for up to date information. The trails are accessed from Short Bridge Road which is off of NC 43 approximately 2 miles south of Falkland. Drive approximately 1/2 mile down Short Bridge Road and look for a sign marking the start of the trail at a thin line of trees on the left side of the road. Parking is available in the back of the field that you pass before reaching the trail entrance.
The trail is on private land and as such is paid for with a formal lease with the owner as well as liability insurance. Please support the use of this trail by using the "Honor Box" at the trail head and paying a small fee to help offset the lease costs. Thank You!!!.
Information, Descriptions, and Directions on all these trails plus many more in the state can be found on the "Trail Finder" menu of the Club MTB web site. Check It Out!
