A Look Back at 2023 | The Joyful Trails Year-in-Review Show

[@joyfultrails]

I hope you dig this one...if not, then I wasted 20 bucks on that trophy. 😂 I went back and combed through about 30 videos so you wouldn't have to. 😆

[@rh-bd6wv]

If not widely known, certainly highly enjoyed. Thanks JT.

[@jackfarris7056]

Great retrospective Scott. I look forward to many more in 24🎉

[@joyfultrails]

Awesome, thank you!

[@TrekkingwithMikeandDeb]

We done. Here’s to another great year.

[@joyfultrails]

Thanks!

[@gaylonreedy8915]

Wonderful photography especially of the Virginia Creeper with the fall color. We travel there about once/ year to ride our favorite rail to trail. I appreciate you rating the various trails and explanations of the score. Our favorite winter place to ride on a warm sunny day is Jekyll Island, Ga so put that one on your bucket list.

[@joyfultrails]

Thanks! And yes, Jekyll Island is on my radar screen…probably for this year (2024). 🙂

[@leegandysdroid]

Thanks for all your work. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this channel. Happy New Year, and keep entertaining and inspiring! Also, thanks for helping me add stuff to my bucket list.

[@joyfultrails]

Yes, sir! Thanks for watching. You’ve been a big encouragement and I appreciate that.

[@markstewart9203]

Darn right!

[@alannebel2720]

Happy new Year!!! May it be a blessed one. Keep up the good work.

[@joyfultrails]

Thanks! Same to you…

[@Christian-cp5qe]

Love the channel. Came for the trails. Stayed for the comedy. Would you consider a video of Atlanta’s beltway?

[@joyfultrails]

Yes! Yes, I would. But probably not until cooler weather arrives! Thanks, I’ll be here all week, two shows a night. Don’t forget to tip your waitress. 😂

[@wishbubba66]

There is nice rail to trail. In Franklin North Carolina.

[@joyfultrails]

Thanks for the heads-up! That’s not too far from me.

[@wolfman6000]

So glad the Virginia Creeper Trail came in at # 1...

[@joyfultrails]

Was there ever any doubt? 😂

[@wolfman6000]

Nope, But the New River Trail is our Favorite, Its a lot smoother and not as crowded, @@joyfultrails

[@avanteadventures]

Feliz año nuevo, alegres senderos! ¡Gran resumen de 2023! “

[@joyfultrails]

Um...yes! :) I think...

[@avanteadventures]

@@joyfultrails “happy new year, joyful trails! Great recap of 2023!”

[@matthewrschuler]

As the spokesman for all us past mulleteers, we definitely appreciate your humor. 🤣

[@joyfultrails]

Ha! Yes...I was a past president of Mullets Anonymous...LOL... Thanks for watching. :)

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Here's to a healthy and happy new year for you and Pop. Been fun watching and listening to your very well done videos.

[@scottbachmann1962]

Thanks, buddy. Same to you!

[@marklawrence4596]

Found your videos about a month ago and really enjoy them. Humorous, great videography, informative and entertaining. Thanks! I'm from New England, so keep coming north as you have a chance. In the spring we're heading to NC for a vacation and we'll definitely hit the Virginia Creeper Trail as we travel down.

[@joyfultrails]

Cool! Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to try to branch out further later this year. If you make it to the Creeper, you won't be disappointed, I'll promise you that.

[@rljohn53]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Happy you chose the Creeper Trail as number 1. I live about 20 miles from it in Bristol. Please try the New River Trail from Galax to Pulaski Virginia and the Mendota Trail from Bristol to Mendota Virginia. I believe the New River Trail would be a top contender for your trophy for 2024. Keep on riding.

[@joyfultrails]

That one is definitely on my list! Thanks for watching. 🙂

[@wightwater5656]

Thanks for the inaugural JT edition, and I can't wait to see JT '24.

[@joyfultrails]

You're welcome...and we'll all see what 2024 brings soon enough, I guess!

[@carrollleopard1961]

I really enjoyed the video. You need to put Cades Cove Loop Road on your list for next year. It’s car free on Wednesdays from May to September. Thanks for sharing the video. Your videos are unique. Yes, VCT is number one. I’ve ridden it 5 times and it gets better each time.

[@joyfultrails]

Thanks! Yes…”CC” is definitely on my radar screen. Hopefully this year. 🙂

[@southernebiking]

Good job. Should have awarded a ribbon instead of a trophy though. Wonder where you get those at. Lol. Some of the ones we have not ridden are still on our bucket list.

[@pedrofernandez8729]

That trophy looks like the one taken away from Lance Armstrong for cheating on the Tour D'France. Did you buy it at you local Good Will store?

[@joyfultrails]

Ha! You know Lance's friend and former cycling buddy George Hincapie? He's from Greenville, SC and I've done videos with him before. Been in his house even. But yeah, that trophy...I did a google search for how to get a trophy made and went with the first one on the list. Ha!

[@pedrofernandez8729]

@@joyfultrails AHA! So there is a connection between Joyful Trails and Armstrong, a certified cheater and he didn't even use an E bike. I wonder if by using the little blue pill once in a while, am I also considered a cheater?
