Welcome to Issue 16.1
Never in mountain biking’s history has West Virginia been a place for the faint of heart. The Mountain State’s undulating terrain can be punishing for the unprepared—it’s no coincidence that hardcore disciplines such as 24-hour racing came to prominence in Canaan. But a gnarly riding scene is nowhere close to the full story. Inclusive communities of riders who truly live to spend time in the woods have existed in West Virginia for decades. Now, longtime community trail advocates are teaming up with a new generation of mountain bikers to fuel a statewide singletrack resurgence that is catapulting the region out of old-school stereotypes and into a new era. This edition of Freehub is dedicated to documenting this renewed sense of progressive, signature West Virginia riding while showing off its sheer beauty through the eyes of some of the state’s best photographers.
