We dropped southwest of the TransAmerica route to ride the Virgina Creeper Trail. 16 miles on a railroad grade. Did I mention we had to climb up to the start so we could coast down all 16 miles. The trail was muddy from all the rain and the creek was overflowing in places. From the pictures you can see why it was so great. So lush and beautiful the whole way, with hugh tressel bridges across the creek. At the end just before Damascus VA we got caught in a big downpour. With others we spent a few minutes under an overpass. After the storm passed we made it in to Damacus to eat and dry out. We ended the day in Meadowview. We are camped at a church pavillion where our host was Clay, the youth minister. We used their youth building to eat, stay warm and charge our phones. A nice stay.
