Elk River Touring Center

Mountain Biking the "Mon"

Welcome to Slatyfork, home of Elk River and eastern riding mecca. We've been offering guided tours for all cyclists for well over 15 years. We can take you riding, tell you where to ride, offer advice on riding conditions and scenery and rent you a trail worthy bike.

"Start off slow. Keep it fun. Don't spend too much money on your first bike... Go to a couple of clinics like they have in Slatyfork, WV - they offer single-track clinics. It's fun to get out and do some kind of clinic or tour with other people."
Sue Haywood, Trek/VW team member, West Virginia native and part time guide at Elk River

Trail Report
-May '06

The Forest Service is completing work on Powerline Trail, one of the Sharp's Knob Base trail network. Several waterbars and bridges will be excellent and much needed additions.

Many thanks to Peter & Dana Jansen for taking a weekend of their time on a cold drizzly day in April to work on Gauley Mountain Trail. Volunteers like these energetic folks are the glue that keeps trails together!

Peter and Dana; off to clean the trails!
