Charlotte's riding is built rather than inherited — the US National Whitewater Center's stacked loops on the Catawba, Sherman Branch and Colonel Beatty out east, purpose-cut singletrack in Piedmont hardwood. The soil is red clay, which is the whole story: it holds water hard and the trails close when wet, so the local rule is check before you drive. Ridden dry it is fast, flowing and endlessly repeatable.
