I traveled to Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness for the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club (AMBC)’s Annual Fall Festival at Baker Creek Preserve — Tennessee’s largest mountain bike gathering. It was a blast checking out the Preserve’s ongoing development and new signage, testing out the industry’s latest e-bikes, and spectating the whip off and best line invitational comps. Can’t wait to get more involved in both the sport and this awesome community!
