We’ll be Creepin’ on the Creeper!

Friday, June 14th – Sunday June 16th.

Ok folks. We’ve had a lot of folks asking about doing a Creeper Ride…

Contact Michelle Shuford for details and to make your SHUTTLE/BIKE reservations and camping reservations: 828-768-0120 or skibumlong@aol.com  Winston-Salem Ski & Outing Club is going this same weekend so we hope to ride together for some or all of it.

Camping: 

Beartree Campground: 

It’s about 7 miles out of Damascus, East on Hwy 58.

We have gone ahead and reserved site #4 on Chipmunk Circle. Go to Recreation.gov to reserve your site. There are some nice sites on Beaver Flat Loop too.

Backbone Rock: Another option closer to Damascus and also reservable on Recreation. No flushies or potable here, tho. 

Lodging: MAKE YOUR OWN RESERVATIONS: You have many choices.

The Holiday Inn Express in Abingdon, VA: reservations can be made at 276-676-2829.

There are also many other hotels in Abingdon or B&B’s in Damascus: go to www.visitdamascus.org/stay/ or http://www.vacreepertrail.com/services/lodging.htm

Friday Night Ride: Since the full moon will be approaching, we may plan a night ride if weather permits and interest is there. 

Saturday, June 15th Shuttle & Bike Rentals: 

I have made reservations for 10 bikes and 14 shuttle spots for Saturday at 10:00 am to go to Whitetop Station under the name of Palmetto Ski & Outing Club. Please contact me for those spots…however here is the phone number for Adventure Damascus: 276-475-6262

Sunday: Meet in the Food City (name?: only grocery store in town) Grocery Store Parking lot on the west side of town in Damascus, VA at 11:00 am and be ready leave at 11:30 to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail from Damascus to Abingdon: (not as steep and less crowded). We will be doing a short ride (about 7 miles) to the Alvarado Station where we will check out the Abingdon Winery for a wine tasting and eat lunch (Plan on packing or picking up lunch prior to the ride at either the grocery store or the Alvarado Station) and then ride back. Wine bottles will fit nicely on your water bottle rack on the bike.
