What a cool experience! You bike on a rail track and see the foliage and river. You get to the end and get a break. They run rain or shine. It rained on us and it was still a cool experience. I recommend taking a poncho or waterproof pants and a jacket. They provide umbrellas but it doesn’t help. I highly recommend trying to get the very front or very back because you get an unobstructed view.

Have been on many rail bike trips with different companies this one was most excellent. I am not sure if it was the friends or the scenery but it checked all the boxes. We had the best time. Restrooms available in both ends. Scenery in between and horses at the end. Suggestion maybe remind everyone to stay on the same car on the way back.

Absolutely amazing and beautiful views and scenery, it is a pretty good workout but it is definitely not hard and is very manageable with a partner. Plenty of time to take pictures, plenty of places to get good pictures. They also have bathroom and place to buy gifts and drinks. Definitely recommend this one.

It was a fun activity with excellent employees who were welcoming and amazing to talk with during the event. They were very organized and accommodating to all our needs. I plan on attending the other locations throughout the country and making it a continuous family activity for my daughters.

I can't say enough about this excursion. It was a beautiful ride through woods and near the river. Loved the trestle bridge, breathtaking views! It was the perfect point to turn bikes around so we could take a potty break and meander down to the river. So pretty! The ride back was easier on the legs/knees since it was downhill (1% grade to Trestle Bridge). The staff made the trip for me because they were so friendly and informative. Rich was very engaging with us and even suggested other points/lunch in area. The museum was very neat as well as caboose car when we got back to train station. One other note, it is a great idea to have different games around to play while waiting for the bus and instructions at the start. Thank you for the wonderful time!
