This past weekend we went on a bike ride with our Bishop's family. We originally were going to camping Friday night but due to rain we canceled that plan. But Saturday we took the 2 hour drive north to Virginia to this awesome trail. It's a total of 33 miles, but we did the more popular 17 mile version. It's all down hill. The trail goes through the hills of Virginia and originally was a railroad track. Here are some photos from our adventure:

The bike place didn't have any buggies from a lack of communication. While we waited for them to bring one up, we tried the seat attached to the bike. It really didn't work. She is just a smidge bit small. But she had fun while Scott tried fitting her for it.

Pictured above is half of our group. (Linnea, Roy, Pheobe, Scott, Addilyn) Erika and Chelsea were moments behind us.
Riding in the beautiful hills. It was the perfect time of year to go. The leaves were falling and turning colors. We just loved it.

One of several bridges. This is a good picture representing some of the colors of the trees.

The trail passed through several times the Appalachian trail. It was really cool to see the trail for my first time!

Addi really enjoyed the trip except for the few miles that she was awake. It also was the bumpiest part of the trail. She did awesome overall. Her first bike ride! What a trooper!

This was during our lunch stop after a few miles of her crying. It was really bright and she had this very upset look the whole time. Ah, just one of her faces...
The end! We made it! 17 miles later! We were all extremely sore. Especially this really long word that describes the actual body part we made sore. I don't remember what it was, but we all complained.
Scott would be very upset if I didn't post this picture. I was gone. I was tired okay! The trip overall was a huge success. The weather held up and it was perfect for riding bikes.

We've lived here 3 years and STILL haven't done the Virginia Creeper trail. Does that mean we should be kicked out of the state? Yikes.
I'm also glad to know other people sleep w/ their mouths open....but where is YOUR drool?!?!!? ;)
I'm so glad you posted this, I had no idea there was such awesomeness around here! We are totally going next spring.
