LEADING MOUNTAIN BIKE MAGAZINE FEATURES WHISKEY RUN MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS AND THE SOUTH COAST EXPERIENCE


Our 2023 Whiskey Run Weekend campaign just keeps on giving, even a year later! We’re excited to share that Mountain Bike Action Magazine recently published an article about the 2023 Ride the Dirt Wave event at Whiskey Run Mountain Bike (MTB) Trails. For this fun-filled occasion, TSOC proudly sponsored the talented contributors, sports photographer Chris Hornbecker and media creator JJ Squires (@that_squires_guy).


The article perfectly captures the thrill of their visit, taking you through the exciting trails they tackled, delicious food they consumed, the cozy accommodations they savored, and family-friendly activities they enjoyed. They even highlight the wonderful folks they met along the way who made their trip extra special. JJ and Chris wrap it all up with a hearty recommendation for everyone to check out the area—whether a hardcore MTB enthusiast or just someone looking for a good time!
