PSOC Summer Outings & Gatherings
We’ll be Creepin’ on the Creeper! Friday, June 19th – Sunday June 21st
Ok folks.
What better way to “Socially Distance” ourselves then around a campfire and on bikes!
Let’s head to Damascus, VA for a little Creeper and camp time!
The shuttle services have just reopened so I’ve reserved 14 spots Sat. June 20th that you need to contact me for. Campsites reservations need to be made on your own via recreation.gov (See Details below).
And… 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.gov (No showers, tho.)

Sunday, June 21st: Meet in the Food City 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) and then ride back. Wine bottles will fit nicely on your water bottle rack on the bikeJ.
