Finishing the TransAmerica Bike Route (Hopewell, VA to Yorktown, VA) - 59.7 miles
Erin flew in Monday with her bike. So, yesterday, she and I rode the last of the TransAmercia Bike Route to Yorktown, VA. We left my parent's house and rode out over the same draw bridge I rode over Sunday night, then picked up where I left off on the Virginia Capital Trail . It's a multi-use trail running from Richmond to Williamsburg and is used by runners, cyclists, and walkers. It's really neat that they created this trail and how long it is (52 miles). They also seem to take good care of it. At one point, a truck was driving down it towing a blower to blow stuff off the trail. (Finally had some company on the road.) The Capital Trail parallels Route 5 and runs along and through wooded areas and farm land.

(Back on the Capital Tra...

As we got back to the house, my friend, Bill, arrived. He didn't bring me that donut he promised me though. :( (Erin and Bill in the driveway as I'm getting ready to leave) (not sure if I look ready to go or what) (Bill and I - we had a similar picture on top of some mountain in Colorado a few years ago) (making sure the inReach is ready to go) (and he's off) The ride went pretty well. About a third of it was just getting out of the DFW. I took the trail North to the other side of 635 and then Meandering Way up into Plano. From there it was Ohio to Frisco and Coit out of town. Being a Saturday morning, I ...
