On this Piedmont Hiking and Outing Group bicycle ride, we had a group of 4 riding from Damascus to Whitetop Station to meet a group of 8 being shuttled up. Our timing was near perfect arriving at the top within minutes of each other. The 17 mile uphill ride took 2:45 in cool weather.
Our group gathers near the the most visited loo on the trail.
What was blooming? Joe Pye Weed, Pale and Orange Jewelweed, Sun Drops, Ironweed, lots of sunflowers, Heal All, Chicory, and Common Mullein.
Our group did not escape without incident but it was only a flat. Overall, it was a beautiful day to ride on the creeper. It was about a 2 hour ride down.
