What the day feels like
What the Two Hours Feel Like
Expect a calm, deliberately paced outing: the group meets at the trailhead, mounts e-bikes that provide full pedal-assist, and follows hand-picked stretches of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Between stretches of scenic riding and brief stops for local-history notes, the guide—who is a Duke University–licensed psychologist—leads short mindfulness check-ins so the whole two-hour span reads like a moving meditation among river and forested corridor views.
