✨Twilight Special is Back!

Between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m. (bikes back at 6:00) on the days our shop is open (Friday to Sunday) walk-up rentals are 50% off. It’s the perfect way to catch those golden-hour views on the Ecusta Trail.

One of our riders shared:
“We did the twilight ride (4-6 pm) as a family activity and it was so fun! We had just enough time to make it to Packa's Place for a b**r and back.”

We had the privilege of hosting a group from the Literacy Connection this week at Venture! They practiced their english skills as they “rented” their bikes. It was a joy to see these two worlds collide: our summer employee, Mia, who is also a summer employee at the Literacy Connection brought a group out.

We think riding bikes while practicing english is a pretty great combo!👏🤍

Side note: great team building activity!🙌

Heads up, riders. We'll continue our 2-hour rental rates for the duration of the closure.

Alert! White Pine Reopening Delayed.

Construction has been moving along for the White Pine Drive Roundabout, but will require additional weeks to complete. The existing trail has been milled up and the embankment completed along the east side of White Pine with paving planned in the next week or so. There is a delay with the construction of the west side of the trail due to Wall #6 (a 250’ long segmental block wall that is constructed along the trail to retain the fill slope). NCDOT shares that the construction of the required wall is anticipated to add additional weeks of closure to the Ecusta Trail.

We’ll provide additional updates for the anticipated reopening of the trail in the section when able. We appreciate everyone being safe and following the posted signage, thank you for your patience!

If you're visiting or new here, we've placed temporary signage along Main Street & 4th Avenue to help folks navigate from the Ecusta Trail to the Oklawaha Trail during the temporary closure.

Be on the lookout for the signs with the fox as you ride!
