Jamestown to Smithfield Lunch Ride |
Description: Meet at Jamestown High School (3761
John Tyler Highway, Williamsburg, VA 23185) for the spring version of this popular
ride. We'll ride a few miles on the Virginia Capital Trail to the Jamestown Ferry
and cross the James River. After 24 more quiet miles on Surry and Isle of Wight
County roads, the group will have lunch at the Smithfield Station on the Pagan River.
After lunch, there will be an optional stop at the ice cream parlor on Main Street
in Smithfield. The return route will pass by Bacon's Castle and Chippokes State
Park to Scotland Wharf on the way to the ferry. This is a joint ride for RABA and
Williamsburg Area Bicyclists.

of driving time from Richmond. Please arrive prior to the starting time in order
