This mid-week ride begins in Damascus at the town park sporting a beautiful red caboose. Landy, Gail, David and I roll the bikes toward Abington along scenic Laurel Creek. The first few miles are mostly open and developed, paralleling US 58. Once we duck under the road, the trail becomes more rural and travels through wooded area as well as open fields. The trestles on this section are in terrific condition. Some are quite high. We open and close gates numerous times before the final uphill into Abington. The trail ends here in a small park sporting a locomotive. We lunched about a block away at the Trailside Cafe.
After fueling, we turned the bikes around and rode the 16 mile return to Damascus.
Next day I raced down the 17 mile route from White Top to Damascus.
