Emily Kimball (358-4959 or Etkimball@aol.com) Ride the finished parts of the Cap to Cap trail between Richmond and Jamestown. Meet at 10 a.m. at Chicahominy Riverfront Park on Route 5 eight miles east of Jamestown. Ride the 8 mile trail to Jamestown and back (about 16 miles round trip). Return to your car and drive 13 miles to the next completed section of the trail at Charles City Courthouse where we will stop for lunch at the newly opened cafe catering to bikers. After lunch bike 7 miles west towards Richmond and back (approx 14 miles round trip). Total distance will be about 30 miles. You can also shorten the ride by returning home after lunch. The trail is well done and the scenery of fields, wetlands, and an occasional farm house will take you far away from your worries! Lots of mansions to visit on the way home if you choose. If you're a fanatic about riding every bit of the finished trail you can stop at ShipLock Park and ride the 1/2 mile towards Richmond's downtown. www.VirginiaCapitalTrail.org Bring helmet, water and snack.
