For this ride, we drove to Whitetop Station and bicycled down to Damascus. At the first shuttle company I inquired about a ride back up and we got on the next shuttle. This saved us over an hour of driving.
We stopped by this apple tree for a short break and apple snack. It wasn't too had to find a good apple but you did need to mind the bees.
Somehow we got separated on this ride. We must have been apart for 30 minutes. I don't know how that happens but you should have a protocol in place for such occurrences. The ride to Damascus is a bit under 17 miles and takes about 2 hours with standard breaks and photo ops.
Upon our shuttle back to Whitetop Station, we got on the bikes again and rode the mile or so to the NC state line. We actually rode into NC for short way because someone has removed the signs indicating the end of the trail and no trespassing. They were there at the beginning of July. I even took a photo of the end of the trail.
