SWAMP RABBIT RIDE! Sunday, June 11th
We are gonna ride the Swamp Rabbit with the Cataloochee Ski School & Ski Patrol on Sunday, June 11th.
The tentative plan is to meet at Gateway Park (Near Traveler’s Rest) about 10:45am with the ride starting about 11a. We will ride about 1 hour into Greenville (Falls Park), then back to Unity Park for lunch at the Southernside Brewing Company (southernsidebrewing.com) around Noon-ish...that way folks going to church can join us with us at lunch and then ride back with us to Travel's Rest should they so desire. If you don't think you are able to do the full ride, we can work out some shuttle options...just let me know what you are able to do.
Email me at: Skibumlong@aol.com if you are interested.
CREEPER TIME!!!
We’ll be Creepin’ on the Creeper!
(Thursday June 15h) or Friday, June 16th Thru Sunday June 18th
Ok folks.
It's time for our annual Creepin' On the Creeper and hanging out around the campfire!
Everyone had a great time last year
I’ve reserved 14 shuttle spots Sat. June 17th that you'll need to contact me for. Campsites reservations need to be made on your own via recreation.gov (See Details below).
Camping:
Beartree Campground:
It’s about 7 miles out of Damascus, East on Hwy 58.
We have gone ahead and reserved site #3 on Chipmunk Circle. Go to Recreation.gov to reserve your site. There are some nice sites on Beaver Flat Loop too. But do it fast as camping is still a SUPER POPULAR activity and sites go FAST!!!
Backbone Rock: Another option closer to Damascus and also on Recreation.gov (No showers, 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, June 16th Bike Rentals:
Last year we did our own shuttle and it worked out just fine. We'll meet in Abingdon at the trail head parking and then choose a place to have lunch. Let me know who is interested in this option and we will pick a start time.
Saturday, June 17th Shuttle & Bike Rentals:
I have made reservations for 5 bikes and 14 shuttle spots for Saturday at 10:00 am (10:30a Departure) to go to Whitetop Station under the name of Palmetto Ski & Outing.
Please contact ME for those spots…however here is the phone number for Adventure Damascus: 276-475-6262
Bike & Shuttle: $40 + tax
Shuttle Only: $25 + tax
Credit Cards add 3.5%
(Check in by 10am under Palmetto Ski & Outing and pay there)
We will meet at the Sun Dog location at the curve in the road on Hwy 58 (Address: 331 Douglas Rd.) (this is on the East side of town).
Friday & Saturday Night Campfire & Social Time: The plan is to hang out around the campfire and have dinner together. Folks staying off site can come. Bring something to grill. You will have to check in and pay ($3?) per car so you may want to carpool. Gate will close at 10:00 pm.
Sunday, June 18th, Out & Back Ride: 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 where you can order a flight or glass of wine and charcuterie or cheese trays and eat lunch (Plan on packing or picking up lunch prior to the ride at the grocery store) and then ride back. Wine bottles will fit nicely on your water bottle rack on the bike. (This option can be done on Friday instead...)
