There are so many miles and so many mountains between here and there that it is hardly worth thinking about

Thanks all. Going out next week for a ride if the weather is good. I have always wanted to do this ride after discovering the Creeper on a hike through Damascus.

I'll be a contrarian. Stay at the campground in Whitetop or drive up. Bike down then use the shuttles to back up. This does a couple of things 1) If in the AM you are moving slow or want a second cup of joe you don't have to worry about meeting your shuttle at whatever time; and 2) it is busy this time of year but it is relatively easy to get a shuttle back up in the afternoon than in the AM. I have done this several times with groups and never had trouble getting back up in the afternoon even though we have never made reservations. When you are ready to go back up top just roll up to any of the shuttle services. You won't wait more than 1/2 hour.
If for any reason Sundog can't accommodate you, we have an unbroken 8 years of doing entirely satisfactory business with Rick at Blue Blaze for bike rentals/shuttles and shuttles only. Located at the west end of downtown Damascus right by the bridge and about 100' from the VCT.

We used Bicycle Junction, they were great. The bikes were nothing fancy but they were very well maintained and handled great.
2nd re: Rick at Blue Blaze - we take a large scout troop (80+) and he has always been helpful, accommodating, and flexible
