Knoxville named fourth best mountain bike city in the United States by singletracks.com
If you're looking for a town that has a low cost of living and great mountain bike trails, Knoxville may be the answer.
That's according to the website singletracks.com.
The March 12 post lists the 10 Best U.S. Mountain Bike Towns with the Lowest Cost of Living. Knoxville was fourth.
Greg Heil, editor in chief of the website, described Knoxville as "an up-and-coming mountain bike town" that he has watched closely since the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club won a $100,000 Bell Built Grant in 2015.
Those funds were used to build Devil's Racetrack, an extremely technical and professionally designed downhill trail mentioned by Heil as having "massive features."
The blog post also mentions Oliver Springs' Windrock Bike Park as being "super steep" with "burly DH runs."
Heil describes Knoxville as having "big city amenities" and a "reasonably-sized airport." He also states that it has the highest population of any other town selected on his list.
