Description: Meet in Heathsville on Route 360 for a fun ride on the Northern Neck. From Heathsville, the route travels to Cockrell's Creek Seafood and Deli for lunch. After lunch, we will head into Reedville for ice cream at Chitterchats. From Reedville, we will take back roads up to the Little Wicomico river, cross the river on the Sunny Bank ferry and head back to Heathsville. The cue sheet and GPX file for your bike GPS are on the RABA website. We will probably linger awhile at the various stops. Plus, it can take some time for everyone to get across the river on the ferry (Coast Guard regulations only allow six passengers per trip). Therefore riders should plan to spend most of the day enjoying the beautiful Northern Neck. We expect to be joined by some members of the local Northern Neck cycling club and the Williamsburg Area Cyclists.

Directions: The ride starts at the Northumberland County courthouse/administrative offices in Heathsville (set your GPS for 72 Monument Place, Heathsville, VA 22473). From Richmond, take Route 360 East to Tappahannock. Turn right on 360 East in Tappahannock towards Heathsville. Once in Heathsville look for the old courthouse on 360 on the right. Turn right onto the road beside the old courthouse and proceed to the large parking lot adjacent to the new courthouse. Heathsville is approximately 75 miles from downtown Richmond and the drive typically takes at least 1.5 hours.
