Creeper Trail

Hello Guys:

 

First, thank you for joining us on this year's trip. Some of you are driving up the mountain by yourself, and some of you are renting equipment so I thought we’d give you the plan so we can all enjoy and ride together!

 

For those of us renting equipment, we need to be at the rental place at 10:00 a.m. We will be leaving in the vans at 10:30 a.m. and should be up the mountain some time after 11:00 a.m.

The address of the place is 331 Douglas Dr., Damascus, Virginia 24236 we will return the bicycles there. 

 

 For those of you not needing any equipment, please join us at the top after 11:00 a.m. I’d love for all of us to have a word of prayer together, take a picture and begin. 

 

Then we’ll start going down the mountain. Since a big part of this trip is getting to know each other, we’d love it if we could hang out as a group as we go down. Go at your own pace no one is rushing you or making you wait!

 

 We’ll be going down during lunch time, so If you’d like to bring your lunch and picnic that’d be great. There’s a couple of eating places as we go down where you could buy food as well (not sure about vegetarian options). All of that to say, that we’d love to eat together and continue with our journey. As of now, I think the place to plan on stopping is around Taylors Valley Trail - head of Virginia Creeper Trail. There are two cafes around there and it seems to have open space where we could all stop to eat (stay tuned for final place) and, after eating, we can continue going down the mountain. 

 

Here’s what I need from you, 

 

1. Please confirm that you are coming. 

2. Please let me know if you’ll be needing just the shuttle or shuttle and bicycle (or baby carrier car).

3. I’d love if you could confirm by Wednesday morning, so that I can change reservations if needed. 

 

If you have any questions please, contact me at 423 972 9036

 

Happy biking!
