As you probably already know, North Carolina has issued a stay at home order through April 29th. Second Gear will continue to stay closed in accordance with that order. We encourage all of you to stay safe at home and practice social distancing during essential trips out. You can still go outside for a little exercise but should practice social distancing and not travel too far from home. If you want to support us you can purchase a gift card from our website (link in bio) and be sure to check out ashevillestrong.com to support other local businesses and get resources to help you out during this time! *Art by muralist Ian Wilkinson*

The Blue Ridge Parkway remains open although support facilities including restrooms and the visitor center are closed. The National Park Service advises anyone traveling to the parkway to visit areas that are not crowded to allow for adequate social distancing.
Today was a beautiful day to ride up to cooler temps on the parkway. Swipe through to the end for a beautiful view of Bee Tree Reservoir as seen from Craggy Pinnacle.

Many things are slowing down right now in the human world but the sun will continue to rise and set. The clouds will continue to float in the breeze. The birds will keep singing and the bugs will keep chirping. Take some time each day to appreciate these things. Even if you’re stuck at home, nature is all around you!

Asheville locals - if you haven’t heard of it already be sure to check out AshevilleStrong.com
They’ve put together a pretty expansive list of resources for individuals and businesses who need support right now. Are you experiencing food or housing insecurity? Are you worried about upcoming bills? There are organizations out there that can offer help!

If you’re in a more fortunate position, Asheville Strong offers easy ways for you to help out small, local businesses. Consider supporting your favorite shop by purchasing a gift card - or ordering takeout from one of our local restaurants that is remaining open. We’re in this together and are proud of the way our community is stepping up to take care of each other!

Dupont State Forest has just announced they are te

Dupont State Forest has just announced they are temporarily closing to the public - effective today at 10 pm. Other local, state & national parks are also making the difficult decision to shut down.
The primary reason for the shutdown is that folks unfortunately have not been following proper social distancing protocol while outdoors. We understand & support these decisions to help keep us all safe. It’s great that folks have been getting outdoors - but we need to follow the proper best practices to keep us all safe.
There are still many trails and outdoor areas that continue to remain open & accessible to the public. If you plan to take advantage of these areas, PLEASE keep at least a 6 foot distance from others. If it’s too crowded, don’t go there! It’s up to all of us to help prevent the spread of this virus and if we can’t self-regulate than we will continue to see the closures of outdoor spaces.
We’ll continue to provide regular updates here. In the meantime, check out the NC forest services website for up to date info on state park closures and which parks still remain open in North Carolina. ncforestservice.gov/covid19.htm
