I brought my bike in to Greenbrier Bikes today after a day on Marlin Mountain and Thorny Creek…read moreMountain, primarily to fix a problematic flat. They did that, but also fixed everything else on my bike within about 30 minutes. That squeaking that wasn't fixed by cleaning and relubricating the chain? They figured out that the pulleys needed lubricated, and two minutes later the squeaking was gone. The back light that loves to fall off? Now it's securely mounted. The one old tube that's salvageable? Now it's patched and I have a better patch kit than I did before. The rear brake bracket that I hadn't even realized was loose, but definitely was? Not loose anymore. I probably would have had to drop my bike off and pick it up a few days later if I'd scheduled an appointment back home, but at Greenbrier Bikes I got it back up to an A level quick enough that I was still able to see not only the Green Bank Telescope, but also do a 4.5-mile-each-way jaunt up Bald Knob with the bike to test out the fixes and catch a fantastic view. On that not-especially-easy test, it did just fine. Overall it cost something like $46, which is a bargain compared to the city bike shops. While they do offer tune-up packages (also at quite reasonable rates), I really liked that they will also take a, "what needs done? we'll fix it" approach. And they don't try to sell you things you don't need, either. That chain with 1700 miles on it? They checked, still good. The air pump that I haven't been impressed with? They could've sold me a new one, but instead showed me a setting I didn't know it had that should make it more effective. They're community-oriented too. On Thursday they were down in Stillwell for a community event, and the guy who fixed my bike is the same guy who clears the fallen trees from the mountain trails I'd traveled the day before. So if you're passing through Marlinton on the Greenbrier River Town, or are in town for any other reason with your bike, swing on by and have them take a look at whatever issues it has that have been bothering you. If it can be fixed quickly, you'll probably be back on the trail sooner than you thought possible, and you'll be helping a bike shop right by the trail as well.

The tour was guileless, but you're told which way you need to go through different splits and are provided a water proof map. It was such a great time. There are small rapids you'll go through, it's so much fun. If you don't know how to kayak they'll give you a run down, don't worry! You're provided with life jacket, a dry bag and box for you're belongings, and of course, your kayak and paddle. Make sure you bring water and a hat. Oh, and your sense of adventure! We loved viewing the 300 sheer cliff walls and watching all the ducks and geese. It was genuinely such a wonderful time. If we're ever back in the area, we're definitely coming back and kayaking again.

I bought a bike rack for my car here and the owner at my request put it together and on my car and made sure it was good to go--which seems a simple thing but might not have happened at some stores. Though I'm handy with tools, there was a real peace of mind knowing an expert put it on my car and got it squared away before I hit the Interstate. There's no pressure here, either: I mentioned I might want to upgrade my Stumpjumper sometime to a bike more in the $8,000-$10,000 range and we talked about various bikes some but they didn't take me by the shirtsleeve and try to show me their most-expensive models at all. There's just a real sense of good people here who truly want their customers to get what they want and need and placing that ethos far above making a quick profit off people. Very impressed.

The Mountain Adventure Center (MAC) is perched at the outside entrance to Snowshoe Village, with…read morefull access to both snow sports and some of the best mountain bicycling in the nation. During the Summer, the MAC serves as the mountain biking center, renting and selling top-of-the-line mountain bikes and serving as repair shop and retail center for upscale clothing lines such as Burton and Mountain Hardwear. During Winter, the MAC rents top-notch demo skis and awards a rental credit for purchasing the skis. It also stocks top-line safety gear such as goggles and helmets. I'd award the MAC a 4-star rating. However, in the recent past, I've seen that many of their employees, obviously experts at their trade, treat customers with disdain and lack of courtesy. That's unforgivable in a store that is supposed to be the Snowshoe's Ambassador to the expert and proficient crowd. Twice within the past year, I've brought my skis to the place and been treated as if they were doing me a favor. I'd feel bad if I hadn't seen others being treated the same way. Go figure.

It stuck with me, he wasn't pleasant, he didn't care to guide me to a dope trail, he just wanted to act like he was the local badass gatekeeper of the terrible trails they have in the area.
