Western North Carolina has to have some hidden spos for this. I don;t like too much interference when I'm out. Depends on what kind of frame of mind you're in. Spots to share?
it's pretty controlled there. Absolutely gorgeous though. I recommend it at least once in your life. You'll feel like you're in Europe biking if you can't make it there.
Have you checked out their requirement for riding on the Estate. I looked all through thir website and am a bit confused. Are they trying to require you rent one of their bikes? Surely not.
I haven't been to any in these spots but it look like some useful information. The website has biking resources and trails for western north carolina. http://www.mtbikewnc.com/
