The latest episode of Ingles Open Road took us to an old-fashioned mode of transportation with a unique twist! We visited northern Georgia where we rode the railroad in a fun new way that you’ve almost certainly never done before.
We’ve traveled in many creative ways on this show, including on horses, in vintage cars, in electric ATVs, in helicopters, tubing on the slopes, all kinds of bikes, paddle boarding, and more. But we’ve never ridden a custom-built four-person electric tricycle.
The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway takes you on rails with brand new technology that combines an appreciation for trains of yesteryear with the thrill of modernization and innovation.
Of course, you can enjoy a nostalgic train ride here too. From the historic depot in Blue Ridge, Georgia, you can take a beautiful four-hour train ride along the Toccoa River, which we highly recommend. But in this episode, we’re pedaling.
The pedals power the electric motor that assists you on your ride. Made in the USA, these babies provide a comfortable, smooth ride along streams, through vineyards, and under the swaying pines of Georgia.
The rail bikes are fun and easy to use, you don’t have to worry about steering! You’ll ride through some really beautiful scenery and enjoy views you can’t enjoy anywhere else.
The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway is a wonderful stop for a fun day of adventure. Be sure to wear sunscreen and closed-toe shoes, bring some water, and get ready for a great time.
After your day of adventure, stop by Ingles Markets for some delicious local treats. You can browse what they have to offer and find a location near you by visiting ingles-markets.com.
