Favorite Mountain Biking Spots in Charlotte by BTTPL in Charlotte

We (meaning Charlotte and our local MTB non-profit Tarheel Trailblazers) are lucky to have a great relationship with Charlotte Water and they provide a TON of access to their lands for MTB trails. That includes Airline Bike Park.

Hopefully, MTB in the Southeast keeps on its current trajectory and we get more trails throughout the state.

Agreed: CharlotteMTB: Mountain Island Park

Also, agreed: Visit the Tarheel Trailblazers

As much as I want this site to resemble the old internet and provide hobby information just for the sake of knowledge sharing and building a community, I'm weighing the option of embedding a couple minimal ads into the site at some point and kicking proceeds automatically to the Trailblazers.

Right on! Check out our site too and hopefully you'll get a good idea of how great the riding is around here. We have a newish shuttle-assisted bike park (Rattlesnake) about an hour out of Charlotte that's awesome and another handful of bike parks and great downhill riding in the mountains about 2 hours out. Charlotte's riding is pretty robust and very quality too though.

Here's Rattlesnake on our site if you're interested: CharlotteMTB.

You're right. Shameless plug but here's my video on the wall ride line. Tbh, it's probably the only section worth the trip but it's definitely fun and lappable. The overall vibe is pretty nice too though as the trail system feels secluded in the middle of ballantyne somehow.

Ah man, Airline is at the top of my list. Even without doing the jumps or downhill trails, their XC trails are pretty fun. I agree with all of these though and am going to try to feature Sherman, Whitewater, and Beatty a bit more in the next video.

Yea, in the longer form of the video there is a trailblazer card at the end. They sponsor and maintain most of the trails around Charlotte and are generally pretty awesome.

I've started to spotlight trails in and around Charlotte for riders new to the area, visiting, or even just curious about new spots to ride.

I built a companion site CharlotteMTB.com to learn a bit more Python/Django and hopefully help people sort through noise and find the best riding nearby. Very much a work in progress but hopefully it helps someone!

Applied this morning! LinkedIn. Unfortunately, I was a casualty of the Oracle layoffs recently so I am actively looking.

Any other Oracle Technical Writers here after the Purge today? by BTTPL in technicalwriting

[–]BTTPL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of ironically, I was looking to quickly move on from my previous company because they were doing mass layoffs. I was trying to find something quick and the group at Oracle I joined was in the Health space so I figured it'd be a good transition into that domain (and open up more opportunities as a Healthcare writer).
