Virginia Creeper Trail的点评

点评：This review is specifically about using an e-trike, which I rode on this trail. My husband and I had an e-bike and an e-trike loaded in a Damascus bike shop and we were shutttled to Abingdon. We then rode the lower half of the Virginia Creeper trail back to Damascus, which is about 17 miles. It took us 3-4 hours, but we made a lot of stops and enjoyed the scenery. The trail head in Abingdon was mostly ground gravel and started out flat and wide, very trike friendly. The path did narrow in time but remained flat and wide enough up to the Alvarado Station. Alvarado Station is an old building that a nice place to rest, use a pit toilet, and buy an ice cream, soft drink or souvenir. As soon as we left the station and continued towards Damascus, the trail changed drastically and became two thin strips of track. From this point on, a trike rider needed to be careful due to the often sloping tracks, which made the trike lean and feel like it would tip over. I did it, and you can too, but you will need to slow down getting on and off bridges (big bump), choose your path carefully, slow down, lean at times, and possibly lower your seat if the trike feels too "tippy." Two tracks were fine for bikes that could choose either the upper or the lower track. Not so great for trikes that have to choose the flatest path. In some places I thought about just riding in the middle of the path, but the trail was busy enough that bikes needed to use both lanes. The last mile or two seemed to be mostly through yards and it paralled the highway. The trip back into Damascus was a bit confusing for us, maybe due to construction that had covered the bike trail. If I were to do the trail again, I would start in Abingdon and ride to Alvarado Station, turn around and ride back to Abingdon, mostly due to the width of the trails and the numerous road crossings (which weren't too bad). But riding the entire lower half of the trail was a good expereince and I'm glad I did it.

翻译：这篇评论专门讲述了我在这条步道上骑行电动三轮车的经历。我和丈夫在大马士革的一家自行车店租了一辆电动自行车和一辆电动三轮车，随后有人开车送我们前往阿宾顿。接着，我们沿着弗吉尼亚爬山虎步道的后半段骑行返回大马士革，全程约17英里。我们花了3到4个小时才完成这段路程，不过途中停靠了多次，尽情欣赏沿途的风景。阿宾顿处的步道起点主要由碎石铺成，地势平坦且路面宽阔，非常适合三轮车骑行。随着时间的推移，小径逐渐变窄，但在到达阿尔瓦拉多站之前仍保持平坦且足够宽阔。阿尔瓦拉多站是一座古老的建筑，是休息、使用最简易的公厕以及购买冰淇淋、软饮料或纪念品的好地方。离开车站后继续朝大马士革方向前行，小径便发生了显著变化，变成了两条细细的路径。从此时起，三轮车骑手必须格外小心，因为路面时常有坡度，导致三轮车倾斜，仿佛随时都会翻倒。我做到了，你也能做到。不过过桥时需要放慢速度（桥面会有较大的颠簸），要仔细选择路线，适当减速，偶尔身体要微微倾斜。如果三轮车显得太容易侧翻，还可以把座椅调低一些。对于能够选择走上方或下方车道的自行车来说，两条车道倒也没什么问题。但对于必须选择最平坦路线的三轮车而言，情况就不太理想了。有些地方我甚至考虑直接在车道中央骑行，但当时路上车流密集，自行车确实需要同时使用两条车道。最后一两英里的路段似乎大多穿过各种场地，并且与高速公路平行。对我们来说，返回大马士革的路程有点令人困惑，可能是因为施工覆盖了自行车道。如果下次再走这条路线，我会从阿宾顿出发，骑车到阿尔瓦拉多站后折返，再骑回阿宾顿——这么做主要是因为道路较宽，而且十字路口也很多（不过倒也不算太麻烦）。不过，走完步道的下半段是一次很不错的体验，我很高兴自己这么做了。
