WoW we'll be there in a few weeks...and yes...THIS is on our Itinerary...great presentation...you convinced us...and I will be having some of that world famous chocolate cake...THANKS A TON for helping us decide what to do!!!!
I rode from Abingdon to Whitetop and back in a day. The climb is long but not bad at all. I didn't push hard on the climb at all and averaged about 11 mph on the climb. To me, that is the way to do it. You should earn the ride down the mountain. After getting back down into Damascus, I stopped for a nice lunch at the coffee shop right off the trail and then rode back into Abingdon. I had an absolute blast!!
Whitetop is in southwestern Virginia, not southeast stated in the video. You can see eastern North Carolina and eastern Tennessee on the way to the Whitetop drop off.
I rode this whole trail, and it was very fun. I actually stay with my family at the house near the white top station, and it’s only a bike petal away!! I stop at the cafe and then stop at the ice cream place. The farmland on the second half is gorgeous, I definitely recommend this trail. 👍
I am at the BIKE FRIENDLY Red Roof Inn in Abington and going to TRY the full 17 each way in the morning, i have a new high end hardtail build that's only 21.25 pounds with pedals but i haven't been riding much at all so i will be taking a break when necessary
I ride it regularly and you gave an excellent perspective of what it has to offer, must say though I don't use the shuttles, but they definitely serve a good purpose. Just don't try riding up the trail from Damascus to White Top on the weekends, you'll be bombarded by all the people who shuttled to the top and are screaming down.
Great video! We just did the creeper trail as well and vlogged about our ride. We enjoyed this trail so much! Would love for you guys to check out our video :)
I know this trail from the standpoint of a railfan...it is a famous route, no matter where one is from!

What day is Trail Days this year? 2022 .
I ride it regularly and you gave an excellent perspective of what it has to offer, must say though I don't use the shuttles, but they definitely serve a good purpose.

Thank you, we usually use shuttles while filming just don't have enough time to ride both directions.
At 14:47, I swear I think Mary Jo is saying "in many places the trail is only 80 feet wide". Maybe I am hearing it wrong.
What size bike tires did you have? Mine are 28..it is road bike, would that work on the creeper gravel surface?
we go in 6 days yay
Were you aware there is a winery in Alvarado?
Yes, but we didn't have time to stop.
Read the cafe is closed permanently
I didn’t realize wolves were in VA
They were there in the late 1700's.
Great video! We just did the creeper trail as well and vlogged about our ride. We enjoyed this trail so much! Would love for you guys to check out our video :)
