Oh my! It has been a while since our last family post!
Well, we have been really enjoying Fall Break. We left on Monday (Oct 
to visit Leslie's parents in Bristol TN for a few days. The weather was looking good so we packed our bikes so we could hopefully ride a little while we were there. Late Monday afternoon we took a nice ride thru Steele's Creek park and got to hang out with Leslie's dad, Steve, for the afternoon. The kids really like this park, it is just minutes from Leslie's parent's house and it great for riding and playing in the creeks.
While we were watching the kids play, Leslie and her dad begin talking about riding a trail called the Creeper Trail in Virginia. After some quick Googling…the Creeper Trail 
is an old coal railroad track which has been converted into a premiere mountain biking trail. The trail (map) is 35+ miles long and has a couple of stops in small towns along the way. So we decided on Tuesday we would ride a "few" miles on the Creeper Trail starting in Abingdon, VA. This was the beginning of the trail and would be easy riding for all of us.
This was a great decision! We hit the trail late morning on Tuesday the trail was incredible! The trail was smooth and easy riding with great scenery. This end of the trail went thru a horse farm, a golf course and had a couple of bridges along the way. The trail was a light downhill grade which made it fun to ride down and fairly easy to ride back up. We covered around 4 miles before we decided
to head back.
These bridges were wide and provided lots of great views.
And here is our crew…the Fall Brakers!
