Hit the Creeper Trail in Va. yesterday- actually fun
I'm sure that this has been covered about 10 times before: **The 17 mile trail is almost all down hill until the last 3 miles but it made for a fun ride in the summertime. The temp. stayed between 83-79 all day with lots of shade and a little wind. Perfect if your taking you wife or kids! I know that many of you wouldn't even consider this a trail but it was a nice change from 3 to 4 miles of uphill pedaling in the lower 90's. We didn't have any bike traffic and you could "get it" going down in some places. The whole area is really pretty, lots of places within walking distance to eat, many choices of bikes to pick from. Expect between 2.5 - 4.0 hours depending on how often you stop and look around. Not at all a workout, but a fun, safe place to go with your family!
