Bike Rentals and Shuttles for the Va Creeper Trail Ride
The Fun Starts in Damascus!
The Virginia Creeper Trail can be ridden all in one day, but it’s really best to make a 2-3 day or weekend getaway of it and take a leisurely time exploring the trail and the area. The trail is very kid-friendly so don’t hesitate to make this a family outing, either. Mountain bikes, hybrid bikes and cruisers work very well, as do cyclocross bikes, "gravel bikes" and other such adventure and touring bikes. Skinny road bike tires are best saved for another day (28 millimeter and larger road bike tires should be fine, however). Gears are nice to have on your bicycle if you're riding the uphill grade to Whitetop, but certainly not required. A water bottle is about all the "gear" you'll need; bring cash as there are rest stops with drinks and snacks along the way. Be sure to stop for a snack at Green Cove Collective and a bite to eat or ice cream at Hellbender's Cafe.
