Two years ago, while camping in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I came to Vee Hollow as a beginner mountain biker to see what their trails had to offer. Now I'm back to explore Vee Hollow again with some (slightly) improved bike skills. I'm also camping in the Smokies again, but those videos will be coming soon. I had forgotten how much climbing Vee Hollow has, and was not entirely prepared for the amount of humidity, but I felt more comfortable on White lightening than I did last time, and enjoyed being able to try Side Saddle and some of the jump lines.
