I'm Morgan! I have the most gigantic passion for the outdoors and going on adventures, exploring things off the beaten path. Oh, and mountain biking, lots of mountain biking, from MTB hacks, to riding some of the best singletrack trails. Here is where I'll share what I learn along the way and hopefully encourage you to get out there and ride too!

North Georgia's MOST Remote Mountain Bike Trail! Mountaintown Creek Loop
First, I almost didn't post this video, due to how shakey the footage came out. It was overcast out and I think my shutter speed was too slow, hench the shakeyness, so I apologize in advance!
I've been wanting to ride Mountaintown Creek Loop for awhile now, so I finally did. I clocked about 13 miles up to the start of the trail. This is a LONG gravel road climb up. With Mountaintown Creek Trail being so secluded and no easy way to get to it, I understand why it's a more overgrown trail. In my opinion, the payoff just wasn't as big as I would have hoped for a 13 mile climb, but nontheless, I'm glad I did it.
A few things to note- definately wear sleeves if you do this during the summer. There are tons of briers. On MTB Project it's noted that there is a private road that you take on your way out. When I did this, it was a little unclear if you were allowed to access the road. There were no tresspassing signs all on the left and right, but no signs or chain across, or as you head in to indicate that there wasn't any through traffic allowed. To be safe, I would recommend taking Pinhoti to Bear Creek back to Gates Chapel Rd to avoid all together (or ask around)!

My Version of Georgia's IMBA Epic Trail // Also Had a Scary Trail Encounter
zhlédnutí 571Před měsícem
The Bull and Jake Mountain IMBA Epic trail is a great one to do if you're new to the trail system. It really allows you to see a little bit of everything, so you can then go back and leave out some parts. To be fair, I have my own strong preference with the riding direction for Bull and Jake Mountain, so when I rode them both as the original IMBA Epic trail a long time ago, I didn't enjoy it mu...
Is An Oval Chain Ring Better?

This Trail Put My Legs to WORK! 😅 Long Branch Connector, Aska Trails North Georgia
zhlédnutí 447Před 4 měsíci
I've been revisiting trails in the Aska Trail system that I haven't ridden in years. Since I had been riding 4 days in a row, I wanted to do a nice mellow green trail for a recovery ride... Haha, I started out on Long Branch Loop, to veer off onto Long Branch Connector..not a mellow trail, lol. Needless to say, the techy climb put my legs to work!

My Dog Mountain Biked 20 MILES With me!!

Lacie has counquered a 14ner with me and a handful of strenous hikes. She's no stranger to a 20 mile hike, but she's never done a 20 mile bike ride. This past weekend, I decided to do just that with her! She's an extremely high energy dog, so of course a 20 mile sprint for her was a drop in the bucket, LOL. 😂 My crazy dog was doing zoomies around the house later that night when we got back, thr...

North Georgia's Hidden Gem! Mountain Biking Aska Trail's Flat Creek Loop!
zhlédnutí 899Před 5 měsíci
Okay, not hidden at all, but I feel like when people think of mountain bike trails in North Georgia, they immediately think of Bull and Jake Mountain, or the Pinhoti Trails. I rode this trail 4 years ago when I didn't have my bike with me and ended up using my dad's XC hardtail (that was an experience). 4 years later, I thought, hey, maybe I should try that trail again on my own bike, lol. Need...

Of course you have a second home in the mountains. Wealth
I've ridden Mountain Town maybe three times. We rode the climb the first time. Absolutely never again lol! I ride Penhoti and much of Pisgah by myself but this is a trail i wouldn't consider doing that....mainly because I'm not climbing that damn hill again lol. I hope you have a Garmin inReach or similar doing rides like this. Mad props and cheers! Very cool to see North Georgia trails getting some love.
I did Mountaintown loop about 20 years ago solo during the winter. There had been an ice storm a couple of weeks before. Lots of fallen trees on the single track section. Took me eight hours.
Mi bici 😱
This trail looks dope how many miles is it total?
Awesome. Mad respect for doing that climb... I'll probably catch a Mulberry Gap shuttle for that...
Cool. I did Bear Creek and Pinhoti 2 & 3 in July this year. Half of Bear Creek just felt like a narrow gravel road... and the singletrack was ultra worn and choppy... I wasn't super impressed. Beautiful scenery though. It got more fun when I just slowed down and looked around...
Just found your videos and was looking at your previous ones. I’ve broken each elbow in bike accidents. The first one was when I was around 25. I finally got it to straighten. My second was like 20 years later. It will never be straight. Hope your elbow healed well. Good thing you are young. From my experience your recovery should be okay when you’re young.

You running I 9's. Great video, I live 8 miles from Bear creek my hood. Before the Hemlock blight it was unreal. I have watched snow storms blow in and /hen try to ou ride them, we had to stop multiple times to try and get feelings in our hands, was so damp and cold...cheers
😊
How long it took to get recovered?
It took around 8 months before I could start mountain biking like I was before the accident, as well as snowboarding.
Wenn man schon etwas online stellt dann sollte man die Griffe auch richtig herum montieren.
Not sure exactly what you’re seeing, but they were on correctly.
your mom is a badA..
Sorry to hear about his pup! That is awful and I hope he recovers very quickly! Also, I been lazy riding my bike but this video really made me miss the sound of my hub and the tires rolling over roots!! I need to get out there again
The difference/ more difficulty your experienced in climbing is because normally when you do the mullet conversion, you want to go down in the travel of the front fork least 10mm to offset the increased wheel size size of the 29er. Your setup's just a little more slack, so you can crush the DH a little harder! 🔥🥰🤘
it the best trail in GA by far...perfect for a day trip from Atlanta
100% agree!!
Keep your weight back always be safe
This ride looks awesome!! I love the trails in Ellijay. You should come down to Columbus Georgia at Standing Boy Creek State Park! Miles and miles of flow trails, downhill gravity trails and jumplines for all skill levels! There is a CVA Sorba group ride on Sunday at 2PM and Tuesday at 6:30PM! We also have a women’s ride on Saturday at 10AM! We would love to have you!
Wow! You are sooooo brave!!!
Good one. You included the climbing which shows the whole picture. I see hundreds of vids showing only how fast they go down the trail. Showing the climbs shows your effort and makes it real.
Bravo! But how can you stand the sound of that swarm of murder hornets chasing you? It sounds like an i9. Am I right?
There cool but cant stand the noise from I9 hubs only thing that puts me off going for them lol
That Bear climb is a beast. The overlook on Potato is amazing. Don't think there's another trail in the SE with so many cool creek crossings tho.
I almost didn’t post this one due to the camera shake. The shutter speed was unfortunately too slow, so I apologize in advance!
Morgan! Way too hang onto it @4:19 !! 12 miles sounds like quite the hike! Really enjoyed the video. I will probably wait for my ebike days or a shuttle :)
Thank you! Definitely recommend shuttling, unless you really love a long gravel climb, haha! 😅
Absolutley gorgeous territory .... I would be a tad worried about wild animals .... and I bet the mosquitos were pretty bad ....
So nice through there! I didn’t see mosquitoes weirdly enough, but saw plenty of ticks crawling around.
the edited out the beautiful creek crossings? bummer. also, i got ZERO cell service there and honestly, that is a concern you should have brought up as a lone biker, esp as a woman. if something were to happen, unless you have a satellite phone on you? - you'd be screwed.
It was still cool out when this video was shot, so I rode through the streams slow and edited those out to keep the flow of the video. I do get somewhat decent cell service along the way here. I think it’s important for everyone when going into more rural areas alone or not, female or male, to be prepared and to always share trail info with someone before going and to pack accordingly. I have a SAT that I carry, but even with that, the tree coverage is so dense, it’s harder to get out unless it’s during the winter. Happy trails!
Someone always comes along...
When that happens to me. I take a few minutes and shake out the arms and drink some water. 5 min. Can make a difference
So very true!
On my first road bike ride I thought 🤔 oh so this is what it’s supposed be like 😱 I really like longer rides !
Another use for bear spray.
Definitely is!
Which chain stay did you install?
Morgan, Thanks for another video, I’m sorry that you had a negative encounter. The guy sounds mentally ill. So many good people are out there. It sucks a few bad ones can ruin the vibe. I’m glad that you are okay. EE
Hope your puppy makes a full recovery. Glad you made it out of the parking lot safely. If you know any of your local police ask them if they can get you the Pepper Spray they use. You can’t buy the strength they use. It will stop someone. This was a great video. Be safe and pedal safe
Bull lot is def sketchy. 15 mins and a couple miles up a dirt road with random hill billy houses/sheds scattered around, would not recommend after dark. Also, does Lace see you get ready to ride and get excited thinking she gets to go to? What does she do when you leave without her?
Controversial opinion but Long Branch is the best fastest green in North Georgia. I like to extend the climb past the connector up to the top of Green Mountain where it gets more gnarly and washed out.
I would say definitely green everywhere else, except for that small section. It’s been years since I’ve ridden Green Mountain, I will have to do it again soon!
How many L of space would you think you need for a 3 night trip? Spring, Colorado, not doing panniers, but want the aeroe system
I packed extremely light when I did this and managed to get everything in their 12L bag. For 3 days, I would probably would go with 2 12L bags to be safe. I also had water sources all along the way, so I didn’t have to worry about carrying extra water.
That rear hub noise makes this video entirely unwatchable 😢
Haha, I love it. It has a dual purpose for me- high engagement hub for techy bits and also it allows people know where I am on the trails without me having to have an annoying bell on.
i stopped the video at 2:31...can t even hear the speaker!Even after the video, i am listening this rear hub...
I have an oval on my Bronson and I think it's the best upgrade for technical climbing. Especially good since our Bronsons a Mullets. My Bronson originally came with a 32t but the guys at Absolute Black recommended going with a 30t so that it could feel like a 28t.
That's awesome! I'm mad I didn't put it on my bike sooner, haha. I've had it for probably 2 years laying around! I agree though, it's great for techy climbs.
@@MorganBishopp Well, at least you got some use out of the old chainring
The science is there and the gains are marginal, but I do feel it makes difference and I run an oval.
I agree! It's not this massive huge difference, but there is a difference there with climbing. I'm glad I finally gave it a try!
@@MorganBishopp Yep!
love the sound of the hub what brand is the hub?
It's been a great hub with a dual purpose, haha. Great for others to hear me on the trail coming. It's the Industry Nine Hydro Boost.
@@MorganBishopp sounds nice defo hear u coming for sure
cool setup nice bike to great trail aswell
Thank you!!
How did u teach the hold up command?
Thank you for your video. I just bought the 2022 stance 2. Im pretty excited to get back into mountain biking after playing D1 soccer for ten years. Now my coaches wont be scared of me hurting my self while mountain biking. 😅
Went out and rode this route last Saturday. Ended up like them so much I went and did it again on Sunday. Thanks for sharing this. I live just north of Atlanta and it's amazing finding so many good trails within an hour of my home.
I read on mtb project there is exposure here.. is that true?
There’s some slight exposure in two spots I would say, but it’s nothing crazy IMO. You’re not on the side of a massive cliff or anything like that.
Hey ! Waiting for the next video, keep on !
I greatly enjoyed this video and so impressed with your energy! Liked seeing a little bit of Shakerag Road.
