The Tsali trail system needs YOU! Come out on October 15th to put some sections of trail in tip-top shape. Rides are planned for Saturday and Sunday to enjoy one of the first destination trails around. You’ll join fellow IMBA-SORBA members, the Nantahala Area SORBA chapter, and the US Forest Service to make your mark on this IMBA Epic Ride location.
The Cheoah Ranger Distrct is providing some free camping for trail work party volunteers on Friday and Saturday. You can request free camping for one or both nights by completing the online registration camping questions. The camping is in the Tsali Campground and is best suited for tents and small trailers, no hookups available. Space is limted to 10 campsites, each site can hold 6-10 people. We will ask singles and small groups to share a campsite.
