My son and I normally do a week long road cycling trip ride each year with a large group. This year due to weather conditions we are making a last minute change and plan to head to North Carolina for some camping, tubing, rafting and mountain biking. It will be just the two of us. We plan to head to the areas aroung Bryson City and Asheville. We have ridden at Deep Creek in Bryson City and some of the trails around Black Mountain. I am looking for trails that are more on a beginner level for him; don't want to injure or burn him out on the first day. I also do not want to be too remote since we are on our own. Any suggestions would be great!
