    Roads Are the Asset | Jed Smith | Back Roads of Appalachia & Appalachian Overland Triangle

    Ben and Clay sit down with Jed Smith — director of operations for Back Roads of Appalachia and project manager for the Appalachian Overland Triangle — to talk about what it actually looks like to build the economic case for motorsports tourism in Appalachia.Jed grew up in Monroe County, West Virginia, came back after stints in the military, the shooting sports industry, and Reno, and has spent the years since mapping routes, running events, and helping communities figure out that the curvy, twisty roads everyone complains about are actually their biggest asset.They get into the 4,500-plus miles of mapped routes across the region, the 24 Hours of Appalachia endurance challenge that's raised nearly $250,000 for regional charities, a recently awarded $8 million ARC grant targeting overlanding and adventure travel across three states, and what legislators and landowners still don't quite understand about the people who show up to ride these roads and spend their money doing it.Plus: the Access Point of the week is the Greenbrier River Trail — 78 miles of packed gravel through the heart of West Virginia, from Caldwell to Cass.Subscribe and share it with someone who loves this region as much as we do.Back Roads of Appalachia: https://backroadsofappalachia.orgAppalachian Overland Triangle: https://appalachianoverlandtriangle.org/Greenbrier River Trail: https://www.greenbrierrivertrail.com
