After 147 miles (today), I pulled into my parent's driveway!

And, with that, I've ridden from my home to my parent's!  Woohoo! 😁

How to Read About My Trip - (all the posts in one place)

-
In the time that's passed since my little "adventure", there have been a number of people that didn't know about my ride and have wanted to see pictures and read about it.  Frankly, it's amazing to me. Well, it's kinda hard to just go to this blog and scroll through all the posts to find a starting point and then to read all the posts.  So, I thought I'd make this post with links to all the posts. Hopefully, it'll be helpful to people that want to read about my journey - including me as I like to go back and reread it too. Enjoy! Pre-ride posts: The trip starts in 3 weeks!

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.  Sometimes there were corn fields right next to the trail - so close I could reach out and run my hands through them if I wanted to.  You could even smell the corn (which was amazing if you ask me). (Back on the Capital Tra...
