A relaxing but INCREDIBLY beautiful ride from the VA Creeper Campground , which is short ¼ mi from the White Top Station to Damascus VA on the VA Creeper Trail, a converted Rail Trail crisscrossing a mountain river about 20 times on sturdy wooden bridges and one trestle bridge.  We’ll stop half-way for lunch on the banks of the river.  Bring your lunch or buy it at the Creeper Café with a deck overlooking the river.  Ride takes 2-3 hours, depending on how fast you like to ride.  We’ll take bus or my truck and trailer back to the campsite.

NOTE:  There is no cell service at the trailhead nor the campsite, but there is some cell service at a Quick Stop a few miles away.  PLEASE plan ahead and give yourself PLENTY of time to get to the campsite and/or trailhead.  I’ll be wearing a bright red shirt on a tan Cannondale.
