Definitely recommend making a reservation for a bike ahead of time to guarantee a spot at your desired time. And be sure to arrive 30 minutes before so you can get set up with a bike. I read all the reviews and watched lots of TikToks about the 17 mile bike ride itself--it's described as easy and mostly downhill. Based on all of that, I rented a regular bike but regretted that decision later due to the amount of uphill stretches there actually were. Maybe my bike seat was not adjusted to the correct height for me, but I thought the ride was very challenging and my quads were on fire. I was actually worried I might not be able to finish and would die alone somewhere along the trail--and I could barely walk when I got done with the ride. I would recommend older or out of shape cyclists consider renting an e-bike instead of a regular bike. I saw lots of seniors riding back and forth on the trail with big smiles and I realized it was because they were on e-bikes. There is a small store that sells ice cream, water, and has a bathroom (basically porta potties) about an hour into the ride and after that, there is nothing. There is a big grass parking lot behind the building with plenty of room for cars.

We plan to return and rent from Blue Blaze again.

We made some other stops in Damascus to pick up others. He was engaging (interesting views on some topics) and informative about the area, and the trail. He handles those twists and turns up the mountain like an F1 driver, but in a big van, dragging a long trailer of bicycles. We paid $45 for each of us, worth every penny. We would call them again if we came back to ride the trail again.

In fact, one time they took me to the top of White Top mountain but didn't pack the correct bike (I paid for a tag along). Thank goodness there was a man there who let me switch bikes with him so I could attach the tag along. This past visit, the 2 staff ignored me when I asked for a cruiser, (I have lower back issues). They gave me a man's mountain bike, but I was pulling a tag along so it was very difficult getting on and off the bike. And it killed my lower back. Not to mention the comfy seat was torn so it wasn't that comfy!!!! Ouch!!! We were there on a Tuesday so it wasn't that busy, and there was plenty of bikes available. On a good note we really like the shuttle drivers. They are very kind and helpful.

All top quality gear, but I have had trouble lately with the motor cutting out inexplicably. I had to endure a long lecture about what parts they deem acceptable, and how they have wasted too many hours trying to fix parts that are not in their sphere of quality. I can understand reluctance to get into software or hardware that is not familiar to them, but they refused to even spend 10 minutes (which I was happy to pay for) even looking for a loose connection or anything obvious. The long-winded explanation of why they would not deign to look at it probably took longer than a diagnosis would. I know this for a fact because the problem seems to be a simple loose connection. Not impressed with their professionalism.
