September 8, 2025 (updated 9/22/25)

A new version of the GPS tracks is available labeled SEBDR-Sept2025-v2.1

We have received reports of riders encountering closure signs through the Cherokee Nation on Section 7 near Maggie Valley, NC.

We have been working with the local representatives to gain more insight into these signs and it has been confirmed that these roads are CLOSED to use until further notice.
We are working with land managers to find a resolution, but until further notice riders must bypass this area by remaining on Highway 19 into Maggie Valley.
New tracks are available for download to reflect this update.

See attached screenshots for reference.
