Buckeyes on the Virginia Creeper Trail

Several weekends ago Julie and I took trip to southwest Virginia to ride the Virginia Creeper Trail. It's a 34 mile rail trail that runs from Abingdon, Va to White Top mountain. The trail climbs 1500 feet in 17 miles. There are at least half a dozen outfits that will rent you a bicycle and shuttle you to the top. Both days we were there we forgot the camera at the hotel. You'll just have to imagine the picturesque scene of a gurgling mountain stream beside the trail, the many bridges we crossed, the overcast day, and most of all the two happy riders you know. We had a blast and hope to do it again some day.
