Thank you for the video. My brother and I do this trip whenever possible. We have been biking together for two years now and have yet to do an overnight.
Hey do you have the route map you used for this? Did you just basically ride the rail trail? Wondering because it says you did a loop and I was trying to look up the points on the map... Would love to know the GPS route on this one. Will be riding in that area in November. Thanks! Mark
Here you go...we went from Galax to Foster Falls via Fries, then rode the next day from Foster Falls to Draper, then returned to Galax on the last day. The nice part about the route is you only set camp one time in Foster Falls and if you have the opportunity or desire you can always drop a car at Foster Falls to stage gear. ridewithgps.com/routes/27660707 ridewithgps.com/routes/27660718 ridewithgps.com/routes/27660734
I just did this the other day. Was pretty hard on my legs. Gonna pack lighter next time. And practice in the meantime. Looks like you guy made pretty good time. Did you jump in the water?

That’s awesome! It’s a fantastic trail - enjoy!!! #loveyabye
Packing supplies for two months, then hooking up a trailer with another two months worth luggage and then stopping for pizza... :))))
