Caboose to Caboose | Bikepacking the Grayson Gravel Traverse

A group of pals started in Damascus, Virginia and rode from Caboose to Caboose through Grayson County. The gravel, the climbs, the views, they are all top notch. We were even treated to a local festival with Bluegrass music and dancing.
Thanks to David Landis for developing such a rad route Southwest Virginia!

Thanks for taking us along! That looked like a nice light rain, just right.

Beautiful place

[@wattwagon]

It really is!

Great video! I grew up in Mouth of Wilson, right off of Fox Creek Rd. My brother and I now live in Denver, CO, but incredibly greatful our corner of the universe is being highlighted for the incredible bike riding. We are avid cyclists in Colorado, and I return every summer to ride the incredible gravel roads of Western Grayson County. Still have a dream of starting a gravel race highlighting the western part of the traverse!

[@wattwagon]

thanks for watching!! Grayson County + Southwest part of Virginia are truly wonderful. An untapped secret. I would love to host a gravel race there. One day it'll happen, there are some big changes coming to the area in terms of outdoor recreation.

Very nice! The landscapes remind me of many places in France, Belgium, German, Czech. Very similar!

[@wattwagon]

How nice! The east coast of the US is quite beautiful! I will race the transcontinental across Europe and I’m looking forward to seeing Germany and Czech! Thanks for watching!

Fun ride to watch while I was on the trainer

[@wattwagon]

thanks for watching!

[@rideon2346]

Thanks for turning people on to this route, as well as the sport! This ride has been added to my List! I'm curious as to what tire pressure do you run on a route such as this?

[@wattwagon]

thanks for watching! this little corner of the state is a gem. You will love it! I was riding 40 schwalbe g-one RS tires and probably something like 33-38 psi!

[@rideon2346]

Thanks so much. You are an amazing, inspirational person! @@wattwagon

Sorry this was your experience (this day).
Thankfully never had anything like this… yet.

[@wattwagon]

What do ya mean? Because of the rain? It wasn’t bad!

[@teeterboy3]

@@wattwagonyes the rain. I don’t love rain rides.

[@wattwagon]
