Before the remnants of Hurricane Helene hit McDowell County, a newly formed business in Old Fort was working to make it easier for the cyclists to hit the trails in the area. Now, the company is shifting gears from transportation to trail-clearing in the wake of the storm.
Molly Morningglory rides in McDowell County during Hurricane Helene recovery. To make recovery a possibility, Mountain Top Shuttles has started a GoFundMe campaign to pay the costs for opening the trails.
Started in 2023, Mountain Top Shuttles is a transportation service based in Old Fort for cyclists and bikes. It is also a mountain trail repair company.
In this photo taken before Hurricane Helene, Jeremy Poore, co-owner of Mountain Top Shuttles, fastens the bikes onto the back of his van that takes mountain bikers up and down the trails around Old Fort.
Old Fort is gaining a national reputation as a destination for mountain biking. In a photo taken before Hurricane Helene, cyclists rode along Catawba Avenue past Hillman Beer – Old Fort.
In addition to shuttles, Mountain Top Shuttles builds and maintains trails. With the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, this has become the business’ focus.
