Details: This is a great way to get comfortable with the trail if you have yet to ride it - as a group! We are riding approximately 12 miles in and 12 miles out on the trail for a total of 24 miles. The trail is flat for a majority of the ride but there are some sections with steep hills and a bridge so plan for those. This is a kid-friendly ride, two of our leaders are 9 and 13 years old and regularly ride this trail. That said, this could be a strenuous ride for those not routinely riding for extended lengths. Our group adheres to common bike trail etiquette found here Trail Rules and like all TATC events we practice Leave No Trace. There are bathrooms at the trailhead - Jamestown Settlement, 2 miles in at Spoke N Art, and 6 miles in at Chickahominy. Click here for trail map to familiarize yourself with restroom availability. Please bring plenty of water, a lunch (or money for), snacks, sunblock, bug spray and anything else you might need. We will plan to stop for lunch at the Chickahominy Riverfront Park either on our way in or out - will let the group decide based on timing. A stop will be made at the SpokeNArt store along the trail for anyone that wants provisions for the ride.
