We spent a little time in Jamestown and Richmond. We toured the Berkeley Plantation and I rode along the Canal walk in Richmond. Peter walked through the church where Robert E Lee was a parishioner.
I loved the Virginia Capital Trail. It's over 40 miles of dedicated bike path connecting the two cities. I rode along fields of wheat, corn, soybeans, potatoes and hay. There were sections through forest and through swamp. There are at least a dozen historic plantations and markers commemorating Revolutionary War battles, Civil War encampments and even Pocahontas' birthplace along the route.
This was the first terrain on the trip with rolling hills. It's all been completely flat until yesterday. Today I actually had a few short but steep climbs.
Saw lots of cardinals, squirrels and rabbits. It was charming.
The map was wrong in Richmond and I had to navigate by my wits. Meaning that I got lost so Peter drove ahead and waited for me at each turn.
