For the seventh consecutive year Cane Creek has brought together a group of premium cycling component manufacturers to build a very iconic bike with an incredibly important cause, supporting the Pisgah National Forest.
Since the Pisgah Project Bike's Inception in 2017, Cane Creek has raised over $209,000 for the Pisgah Conservancy, whose mission is to protect Pisgah's natural resources and support the fantastic recreation that our forest and community fosters.
By participating in the Pisgah Project Raffle, you are joining a community of supporters who invest in clean streams, maintained trails and a thriving natural environment for future generations to enjoy. The Pisgah Conservancy gives voice to ALL user groups that call Pisgah National Forest's Ranger District home.
This year's Pisgah Project bike has a MSRP of over $11,500!
Built with premium alternative components; sourced from local Southeast cycling manufacturers and global partnering companies who truly care about a healthy and sustainable Pisgah National Forest.
In addition to the bike; this year's winner will also receive a two-night stay at Pilot Cove.
Organized by Cane Creek Cycling Components and backed by remarkable partnerships with REEB Cycles, Industry Nine, Thomson Bike, Pilot Cove, Continental Tires, Crank Brothers, Fizik saddles, TRP, and Endless Bike Co. this year's "super-bike" has the potential to bring the total amount earned to over $250,000!
About the Pisgah Conservancy
A primary goal of The Pisgah Conservancy is to enhance the recreational experience of visitors to Pisgah while protecting the rich natural resources that attract them in the first place - Construction and maintenance of infrastructure in the District; including trails, trailheads, buildings, monuments, parking lots, and other facilities will play a central role in accomplishing this mission - Protecting Pisgah's natural resources and supporting the fantastic recreation that our forest and community fosters.
The Pisgah Conservancy supports the environmental, social, and financial sustainability of Pisgah's trails for a variety of recreational uses -
This means, among other things, working with federal, state, and local agencies and other interested parties to maintain trail stability, reduce erosion and flow of sediments to waterways, prevent unacceptable trail impacts on wildlife and cultural resources, ensure that trails and trail shelters are not in disrepair and are supported by user groups and volunteers, make sure that they serve a meaningful purpose within a trail complex (or, if not, support their decommissioning), promote user safety (including through improved signage), help open and maintain approved scenic vistas, and contribute sustainable funding for the trails.
