Williamsburg '22 - Saturday - April 30, 2022
Saturday takes all riders across the James River by Ferry. We offer many choices for riding.
· Bike to the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry, cross the James River and ride to Chippokes Plantation State Park (17 miles each way)
· Drive to the JamestownSettlement parking lot and board the Ferry on your bike and ride to Chippokes Plantation State Park (10 miles)
· Drive to the Ferry and cross in your car then drive the short distance to Chippokes Plantation State Park.
Once at the Park we offer 3 loop rides, all different. Riders may choose to ride all 3 and the 10 miles to and from the Ferry completing just shy of 111 miles. Two Surry Routes (20 & 28 miles) will offer lightly traveled rural roads that are fairly flat and have good sight-lines. Perfect for getting up a little speed and working the legs! A third loop (43 miles) takes you to the charming Main Street of Smithfield, VA. Stop for lunch and relaxation.
Williamsburg '22 - Sunday - May 1, 2022
Sunday takes us out and about Williamsburg and James City County. Water and restrooms will be available at all the parks. Each unique park is a good place to stretch and enjoy the scenery. This will be a more urban route in some places. On your return, pick up your box lunch at Spoke and Art on the Capital Trail, included with your registration.
Proposed Shenandoah Rail Trail
The Shenandoah Valley Rail Trail Partnership is an unincorporated coalition of public, private and non-profit organizations along the proposed Shenandoah Valley Rail Trail that have come together with the vision of transforming an unused single-track railroad corridor from Broadway to Front Royal into a multi-use almost 50-mile trail re-connecting communities, businesses, schools and many local cultural and historic resources.
To contact the partnership email info@shenandoahrailtrail.org.
