Expecting guests

Tomorrow morning will be a big day. We're expecting between 1800 and 2000 bikers to visit Alvarado for a rest stop along the Virginia Creeper Trail as part of the Bike Virginia event. The Creeper Trail Club was invited to participate in this event as a way to highlight the Creeper Trail for the participants who are making the five-day bike tour of southwest Virginia's Crooked Road.

We'll have 25 plus club members out to greet the bikers as they arrive, get them fed and watered, and tell them a bit about the Creeper Trail. We hope that many of them will be intrigued enough to come back and ride the whole trail.

Since this is a tour of the Crooked Road, Virginia's Musical Heritage Trail, we've even booked a local performer, 15 year old Ashton Blaylock, who will entertain and amaze our guests with his musical talent.

We're looking forward to meeting our guests for the day. If you're around tomorrow morning, come on down to Alvarado and give us a hand.
