Virginia Creeper Trail - Biking Adventure

For all you bicycle enthusiasts, you need to ride the Virginia Creeper Trail http://http//vacreepertrail.com/ located in Damacus, VA. You can bring your own bike or rent one from the Blue Blaze Bike and Shuttle http://www.blueblazebikeandshuttle.com/ who trailers you up the mountain. There are other bike rental companies but we've always used this one and have been pleased. This is a 17 mile bike ride thru the mountains and it's all downhill. I know all you seniors will enjoy that, we sure did....I have to admit thou, your behind is ready for a rest by the time you make the 17 miles. You will be passing thru a national forest filled with beautiful mountain streams and crossing wooden bridges. About half way down the trail, you can stop at an old railroad depot for drinks or souvenirs. Many years ago there used to be a logging train on this path. We've been on this ride several times and we always pack a small snack and drink for that stop at the railroad depot. You can ride at your leisure thru these mountains. It's a beautiful ride especially in the fall. There is another 17 mile trail if you want to continue your ride. The town of Damacus http://www.damascus.org/ has several restaurants to enjoy before heading home. Happy Trails To You.......
