Our first planned vacation activity was biking at the Whitewater mountain bike trails. The trails were top notch and just 20 minutes from Charlotte, NC.
First we tried the Lake trail (green). RJ said it was too easy. Doug rode in the middle. Sara and Julia were troopers.

Next, Sara and Julia investigated the whitewater, zip lines, and other activities for a future trip. Doug and RJ went to the South Main (blue) trail. This trail was quite the thriller. I thought we were doing well until a runner when flying by us.
Doug had so much fun that he convinced everybody to go back on Saturday. Julia and Sara dominated the Panda trail. Julia got so good at it that she was able to race around it. If you listen closely at the end of the video, you can hear Julia counting and declaring that Sara was "98, 99, 100 seconds behind."
Doug and RJ explored some longer blue-trail loops. But the "blue" trails were not as technical as South Main from Day one.

The rail trail (green) sounded pretty lame, but turned out to be good. We also liked Bandit (blue) and the big down and up on Smokey (blue).
