After having ridden numerous rail-to-trails, it was time to expand our horizons to gravel biking. The idea was that this could open up an entirely new realm of bicycling adventures. It proved to be a humbling experience and one well suited for the "30 somethings" and perhaps not the 60+ somethings!"
Our route was the TransVirginia bike route created by David Landis. This route runs all the way from Washington, DC to Damascus, VA but our portion of the ride would lead us halfway to Harrisonburg via the easier "Valley" route. It was still an ambitious 4-day endeavor over 200 miles long and over 12,000 feet of elevation gain. Thus the "Trepidation Meter" was spiking to the right.
BTW thanks to ChatGPT for creating these two graphics -- pretty amazing!
