Sponsored by the Virginia Creeper Trail Conservancy, the Ride honors Lawrence Dye. Dye, our 90-year-old Trail Ambassador, logged more than 192,000 miles biking on the region’s finest rails-to-trails landmark – the Virginia Creeper Trail. Lawrence often rode daily to Whitetop Station and back to Abingdon.

A Conservancy volunteer will lead the ride and guide riders from the Abingdon trailhead through Damascus to Whitetop Station and back, a 68-mile round trip. The pace will be moderate with plenty of breaks. Mileage can be shortened by joining or leaving the group at various access points along the trail.

Participants should bring their own bikes (or rent one in Abingdon or Damascus) as well as weather-appropriate clothing, water, snack, and a tire-repair kit.

Registration begins at 8 am. For more information, visit vacreepertrail.org or contact the Conservancy at virginiacreepertrailclub@gmail.com.
