November 21-27, 2016 – 106 miles
We headed to Williamsburg, VA for Thanksgiving. Staying in a timeshare and not camping this trip. We were looking forward to riding the Virginia Capitol Trail. The trail runs from the Jamestown Settlement to Richmond. We road all 52 miles of the trail. The first day we rode it was cold, long pants day! One of the highlights was biking along the canal in Richmond. It was a great end to our ride.
We passed several plantations and on one of our non -biking days we visited Shirley Plantation, where the mother of General Robert E. Lee was born. It’s the oldest plantation in Virginia. Lenny’s sister and brother-in-law joined us. We enjoyed local restaurants, cheering on the Buckeyes and doing puzzles.
