The best singletrack in the Triangle area are the trails by Chapel Hill High School. Basically in the middle of the city, they're on a big chunk of land owned by UNC. In an area that is developing at a torrid pace, this means that they are safe from development, unless and until UNC decides it wants to do something with that land. There are some rumblings about that happening, but that still seems like a long way away.
It's tight and twisty like Bur Oak in places. But even though the forest is a lot bigger, it's mostly tall pine trees so it almost feels wide open. Rocky, rooty, and lots of fun. Perfect for singlespeeding. No huge or long climbs like Pisgah. It's more the kind of scrambling that Johnny S loves so much. I used to ride there 10 years ago, but they've done a lot of work on it since then. There's about 60 km of trail in there now. Alex and I road 35 of them yesterday. Good times.
