May's trip to the Virginia Creeper will be a challenging and memorable experience. We will arrive in Abingdon on Friday, May 12th by 9:30pm
We will leave for Damascus around 9:00am to check in with the bike shop for our 17 miles bike ride. The price includes a mountain bike, helmet, and shuttle to the top of the mountain. If you have a bike, you will need to provide your own transportation. It will take us most of the day to complete the bike ride due to many stops along the way.
After the bike ride, we will eat dinner and head back to the hotel. We should arrive around 7:30pm. They do have an outdoor heated pool, so bring your swim suits if they plan to swim.
