My name is Nick Nichols. I
operate a chair lift and maintain the rental bicycles for Wintergreen
Resort's downhill trails. I am a professional bicycle
mechanic with 30 years experience and have a vehicle capable of
carrying
seven riders and their bikes.
Starting
this spring (2007), I
offer a bike shuttle for the Big
Levels/ Sherando Lake area trails,
which are maintained by the US
Forest Service and CAMBC (Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club).
I'll take you to a high point on the Blue Ridge Parkway
and pick you up near Sherando Lake or on the Coal Road.
Also, if off-road riding is not your
preference, I can shuttle you to a high point on the Blue Ridge Parkway
and pick you up near Sherando Lake so you can
enjoy an easy and scenic downhill ride on the parkway.
