	Bikecentennial 1976 report - Roadway design and maintenance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This contrasts with 79.8 on the TransAmerica Trail.
		Sections of gravel along the TransAmerica Trail were ridden by as few as 10% of the riders, although it was clear that the alternative paved roads were far more hazardous because of high traffic density.
		One of the most significant-factors in the development of the TransAmerica Trail was the success of the Bikecentennial organization in eliciting participation by 8 of the 10 states in placing bike route signs along the trail.

	The Roads to Damascus
		We remain in the bar with the hikers to hear tales of the trail: giant rattlesnakes almost stepped on, bear cubs in trees, a wild-eyed, jittery wanderer searching for a legendary lost cave that opens into the netherworld.
		Bee and I are transported by the hikers' sense of camaraderie, born of suffering along the arduous miles of the AT and alleviated by the sharing of stories, moleskin and oases such as Damascus.
		TRAIL ACTIVITIES : For an easy downhill ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail (http://www.vacreepertrail.us) from Whitetop Station to Damascus, there are numerous bicycle rental and shuttle services.

	Mississippi to Oklanhoma on the Trans-America Trail
		The trails (mainly what they call 'mile-marker' grid roads) are surfaced either in gravel (if you're lucky) or a sandy-loam type of stuff (if you're not).
		From Baker the trail crossed three or four north-south folds of mountains before heading north into Eureka, sand being the main problem of the day, usually when the trail chose to dip in and out of dried-up streams which, of course, were as sandy as hell.
		The route through Oregon was nearly 600 miles, but with the exception of a few sections of trail which clung tenaciously and spectacularly to high ridges where the treeline dropped away to either side, it was comparatively dull stuff with memories of Nevada, Utah and Colorado so fresh.

	Carla King's Motorcycle Misadventure Dispatches, Colorado 2004
		I ride with Sam Correro, Mississippi-based creator of the TransAmerica Trail map and rollchart system, along with Chris and Spice from Georgia, to 12,000 feet and sweeping views of the famously scenic Chaffee County area of Colorado.
		The forest is bounded on the west and north by the Continental Divide, and on the east by the Pike National Forest, and includes the Wet Mountains, Collegiate Peaks, Sawatch Range, Spanish Peaks, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
		For riding the Trail you don't need a GPS, but it gave me a feeling of additional security, and you always know where you are and where you came from.

		The Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail was born of a desire to offer bicyclists a way to celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of the Corps of Discovery's journey, which began in 1804.
		The Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail's 4,618 miles cross nine mountain passes, pass through four national parks and monuments, overlook dozens of rivers in addition to the Missouri and the Columbia, and promise you views of bison, elk, deer, antelope and other wildlife.
		The Trail will be the best possible way to experience the magnificent landscapes witnessed by Lewis and Clark: all of the sense of wonder, all of the adventure, but a lot less inconvenience and hardship.

		Knowing which portion of the trail was ridden by each rider and how many accidents took place, we have established an accident base rate of great accuracy.
		Although only about 15% of the TransAmerica Trail is steep enough to be thought of as a downhill, a full 38% of all accidents took place while riders were making a descent.
		During the operation of the trail in 1976, two cyclists were killed by overtaking motor vehicles.

		Trails often take many years from concept to completion and they get opened one section at a time.
		Two local examples of this are the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and the Catharine Valley Trail.
		The Catharine Valley Trail opened a 5-mile segment from Millport (Chemung County) to Montour Falls (Schuyler County) which connects with the 1-mile segment in the village of Montour Falls.

		The portion of the TransAmerica Trail that we were on was well documented, the surfaces of the roads were good, the traffic was scarce, the grades were minimized as much as could be.
		Clearly, they had chosen the best route for the Trail, even though there were still a couple very steep hills and some short sections of heavier traffic.
		The Trail even managed to stay away from roads bordering interstates, where you have to listen to the interstate traffic.

	Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission
		Numerous bicycle routes, including the TransAmerica Trail (BikeCentennial Route 76) and races carve their way through the area, and the country roads are prized by racers and recreational bikers.
		The Appalachian Trail, the nation’s premiere long distance walking trail also traverses the area, and the region’s many old towns and communities are small enough to be conducive to pedestrian travel.
		These trails may be for either bicycle or pedestrian use, some may be for both, and others may be restricted to use by horses and all-terrain-vehicles.

	ABOUT DAMASCUS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It's a great little trail town in Southwest Virginia, located just 12 miles off of Interstate 81 and within a three hour drive of Charlotte, NC and only a two hour drive from Roanoke, VA and Knoxville, TN, with Boone and Asheville, NC practically in the back yard.
		Five major trails cross in Damascus--the Virginia Creeper Trail, the Appalachian Trail, the Transamerica Bicycle Route, the Iron Mountain Trail and the Daniel Boone Heritage Trail.
		Damascus also has the distinction of being tagged the "friendliest town on the trail." Originally, that meant the Appalachian Trail, but it applies to whatever trail you happen to be on when you pass through town.

	Biking across the USA - text-only version (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Trail follows secondary roads, away from cities (Charlottesville, Virginia, and Pueblo, Colorado were the largest places I visited on the Trail) and it is probably the single most popular route for biking across the country.
		In the more westerly states on the Transamerica Trail, many of the small towns open up their municipal parks for overnights by cyclists, and in Missouri Rob and I began to avail ourselves of that simple charity.
		It's excellent advice, for although Yellowstone is entirely passable by bicycle (the Transamerica Trail goes right through it), the park's single road is hilly, curving, and often shoulderless, and the full, figure-8 loop that it forms is more than 200 miles long.
