Biking the AMAZING Virginia Creeper Trail (Part 1) 

I stumbled on this video when RU-vid suggested it the other day. The VA Creeper Trail was one that we talked about doing this year, but life got in the way of. Your video really hit home how this needs to go on the must do for bike adventures in 2024. And after watching this part, what happens next? I end up watching several more of your videos and enjoying my time on the trainer that much more. Thanks for creating a really positive, fun, high quality channel. I follow a number of cycling RU-vid channels of various types, but yours will now go up on my must watch videos alongside Ryan van Duzer and Syd & Mackey. Positive people, sharing adventures in an honest way, doing the sport I enjoy. Thanks.

Love that trail. My wife's 70 yo uncle loaded up a dozen bikes in a truck and trailer in 1997 and took my family to the top of the Creeper and that trail and trip reinvigorated my cycling joy for over the following 20 years since. He took us to the Natural Bridge nearby and made a memory that will last my lifetime. Thank you for sharing.🙏

All you videos are well filmed, but the quality on this trip was your best ever. Great lighting!

I started section hiking the Appalachian Trail last year (2023) and have started back this year. I live in Southeastern Georgia and I’m able to travel north in 6 or 7 hours to get to the section of trail Im now hiking. I was just in Damascus as I’ve managed to make it that far with the section hiking. Part of the Appalachian Trail intertwines for a short while on the Virginia Creeper Trail and I walked on it 2 days ago. Due to rain and a cold front that was coming through I came home a little early from the hike. Since I had hiked on the Virginia Creeper, once I got home I wanted to know more about it and came across your fabulous video. You have done an excellent job making this video, as it is awesome. Besides hiking I also like to bicycle and am subscribing to your channel. Thanks for making and sharing these amazing scenes of the trail. I certainly hope to ride on it in the near future.

We live in Abingdon and feel so blessed to bike the trail at least twice a week.

You are so right the bridges are spiritual.

Beautiful trail named after one of many nuisance vines I’m constantly fighting with on my property. At least it’s not poisonous or thorny.

I live in sc too. I just not to long ago started riding bick n watching your videos make me want to go out ride more

Wow, this trail is over the top! You provided a great overview along with epic scenes along the way. Super job with editing, music selection, etc.

I have more memories on this trail than any of the others.

Awesome video.!! My wife and I rode the Creeper last weekend. Abingdon to Damascus and back. 31.4 miles total.

Virginia Creeper Trail is Special.. Love the way you at your Twist to the trial.. Very Unique.. There's so many ways to bike this trail.. You could bike ride every season for a different bike ride.. Solo is Best.. Soak it all in.. But bring Family Friends.. Thanks Scott 🚴‍♂️😎🍁🌞🎥

Done this one more than a few times, but your video makes me want to go back and see it with new eyes.

I bet you give it 5 stars, well worth it. Another trail added to my bucket list.

We rode the creeper trail for part of our anniversary trip in July! What an incredible experience. We rented bikes in Abington and took a bus to white top

Great production. Good music and great camera work.

Very deserving and close to that 1000 subscriber mark ! 👍

Nice trail. Virginia has several nice trails. Va. Creeper Trail and New River Rail Trail are two of them. Great video and thanks for sharing it.

All righty then. You now have a new subscriber. I have been riding rail Trails for 20 years or more. I just love it! I do not know how I have never seen you on RU-vid before but I'm glad I did today. I have a friend in Virginia and I live in California so now I just have one more great reason to go visit him. I would really like to know how you get some of those overhead shots while you're riding down the trail. Thank you very much for these videos! Ride on my friend!😀

Very nice video. We are heading there next fall for sure.

The trail with the journey the rendition the music and the narrative, is just epic. 😊😊

I'm a local who loves our trail. Fantastic job! Thank You!

The VA Creeper Trail is on my list for this coming June.

Another great video, my daughter, her husband, and my grandson have rode this a number of times, will need to put it on my list for this year. My wife just got a new bike that suits her better after her knee replacement. Another good trail is the Tweetsie trail in Johnson City TN.

Excellent! We rode the whole thing last year (in both directions) starting in Damascus headed to White Top. The returning to Damascus for lunch then on to Abingdon and back to Damascus. Loved reliving it thru your video.

Beautiful video. I have known about the Virginia Creeper Trail for years, even passing by it, but yet too have attempted it. I assumed it was just a gravel road up to the top. Now I know the ride will be a combination of what makes a rail trails special. It seems to have my favorite elements of a great trial; water, bridges, rock blffs, and open spaces are found on the trail. But my favorite element is historic towns with old architecture. Thanks for the video. I will be visiting the trail soon. John from Bethel, Missouri. USA

Looking forward to Part 2! I thought that you might like that trail! I want to go back and do a bikepacking trip up from Abingdon to Whitehorse, camp, then ride back down the next day. I think that would be a cool trip! Also...I was sorting through some of my past trips that I still need to edit for RU-vid videos, and I have your next assignment from me...Cades Cove! They close the 11 mile loop to vehicles every Wednesday from May-September! It is a cool little ride...but def not a flat rail trail.

I’m from Louisiana and this trail I have to ride. Awesome views. 18:48 18:48

Thanks for a wonderful video. I’m heading down to Virginia in mid-March 2024 and am planning to ride the Creeper Trail as well as the New River Trail and the High Bridge Trail. I must tell you that the quality of your videos is one of the best on RU-vid…Good job. And I gotta get me one of those hoodies👍!

Nice review of this trail. Your footage is really well done. I look forward to getting out to ride this trail.

I keep a journal of your trails that I want to visit. THIS is now at the top. I am already looking for places for next fall time. Thank you for all the work you put into making these.

I am currently on a quest to ride all of the hall of fame trails in America. I've yet to ride the VC. Your personal take on the tr as il has me thinking a fall trip there would be astonishing. Thanks for the great video.

As usual a great peaceful way to start the day. In 2019 on a trip to Texas I rode about 10 miles of the Creeper trail. Can't wait to do the whole thing, thanks again for a great video.

One of the very best trails anywhere!!!! Love that trail!! And that bike UP to Whitetop is no joke!!! Have done it a few times and it’s never easy!! Lol. Great video!!

Well done video. I need to ride this trail it's not long but very beautiful 👍

What a beautiful trail at the perfect time of year. Superb videography. Production quality on fire. To get such great footage is no easy feat. You made it so seamless I felt like I was on the ride. Well done and thanks for letting me lose myself for a few minutes.

What a fabulous ride. The cinematography is outstanding as well. Bravo!

Great job on the video Scott. Sure does look a lot different than when I wrote it horse back 25 years ago. I was up closer to white top, but I guarantee it has been upgraded since that time. LOL I don’t believe anybody would’ve rode a bicycle on it at that time. Anyway, very high-quality on the video. Job well done. I’m looking forward to the next.

Fantastic adventure! I mean that from the top of my heart. Love that hoodie. What a surreal experience. Production was 🔥 as the kids would say lol.

Rode that trail many times.It never gets old

Love this Trail

Great video!!!

Recently I have gained an interest in biking. I plan to buy one soon and I live not far from this trail and was born in Abingdon but I have never seen the whole trail. I never realized just how beautiful the parts I haven't seen are. I can't wait to ride the whole thing. As far as washing my hands... I'll just stick some sanitizer in my pocket lol

Most people ride from White Top to Damascus. The section from Abington to Damascus is nice, but not nearly as nice as the other section. People ride from White Top to Damascus because that direction is downhill, if you go the other way, you’ll get a lot of exercise, which might be what you want. There are plenty of bike rental and shuttle services, most of those are in Damascus and they’ll shuttle you to White Top. For reference, White Top is at the highest elevation, then Damascus, which is kind of in the middle, then Abingdon. The section from Damascus is still kind of downhill, but almost flat. The real elevation change is White Top to Damascus.

It is refreshing to see a guy on a comfortable bike wearing cotton and a baseball cap. The vast majority of bike content makes it seem like you need to change your whole personality just to ride a bike through the woods....not to mention about $10 000 once you are done buying all the unnecessary gear.

Awesome drone shots.

very pretty

Enjoyed taking the ride with you. Looking forward to watching part 2.

Wow, fantastic video. It looks like you are really getting the 360 camera figured out. How much extra time does it cause you in video production? Your video has Julie all ready to head down and ride the Virginia creeper.

Oh man!! Thanks for the amazing video. What month did you ride the trail? The views are just magnificient!!

I love your videos and hope to bike the trail next fall. What cameras do you use, do you use a drone? I like to take vacation videos for memories, but your is excellent!

I will comment after part 2. You will just have to wait. 😂

Just wondering how you mostly filmed this? Mostly drone? You have it on follow me mode? Or use GoPro? Looks beautiful there. It’s on my To Do list.

Beautiful video. Don’t know where You Tubers get their music from, but I’m beginning to feel a little beaten down by that folk singer dude.

Can you pitch a tent on the trail.

I need that hoodie!! Where can I get 2?

What was the mileage on day 1 ?
