A little bummed out, in Abingdon tonight and I had hoped to be able to report that I had biked all four rail to trail sites I western Virginia that I know. Taking my bike out the trunk of my vehicle I noticed my tire was flat and pretty darn past repair.
Oh well, time to at least walk the Creeper (for the second time). The Creeper is an abandoned railroad that was converted to a bike trail. Others in the area are the High Bridge Trail (subject to last week's post), the New River Trail, and the Huckleberry Trail. Of these four trails, the Huckleberry is accessible to both road bikes and off road bikes. I would do the other trails with a bike with fat tires. The most scenic one (of the areas I've seen, walked or biked is the New River Trail, although the view from High Bridge is spectacular, and I have only seen 2 miles of the 37 mile Creeper. Maybe I can get my bike repaired tomorrow and try it.
I took these pictures during my walk this afternoon, it was fun. The walk back was right into the setting sun, so that was bothersome.
