A few years ago, we rode from Jamestown to Richmond, stayed the night and then biked back. We stopped at Cul’s Courthouse Grille for lunch both ways. It was a great two day trip. This spring we biked from Jamestown to Cul’s for lunch and then biked back, just like you did. They serve a great lunch and always treat their patrons well. I think they love to have people riding the trail stop in.

I LOVE this trail. I’m as 31-year resident of Williamsburg and I run this trail weekly. I learned something about those historical markers on the path just past the Settlement- who knew that there was an audio guide explaining them! Don’t forget to stop at Spoke and Art (towards the beginning of the trail). A great place meet other bikers/runners and get a cold beverage.

Hi. Thanks for sharing your love for the trail. We wish we had saved a second day to get all the way to Richmond! Thanks for watching.

Nice video. I rode about 30 miles on this trail from the Richmond end a couple months ago and it was very enjoyable. I’d like to ride some of the Jamestown end too soon. It looks to be more interesting than the Richmond end.

@@Adventuresonebikes Are you headed for the Creeper Trail?

Some day. It’s not in our plans for this year, but we want to ride the entire Greenbrier and then Virginia Creeper sometime soon.

How much battery life was left after 45 miles 🤔 ?

@Adventuresonebikes 3 месяца назад

Our bikes have a range of up to 90 miles in ECO. We did ride for a bit in tour on this trail. We had about 1/3 of our battery left. Thanks for watching.

@kanuklastman3436 Месяц назад

Where did you stay at the halfway point? Is there a campground there?

@Adventuresonebikes Месяц назад

We only rode to about the halfway point; we didn't stay at the halfway point. We stayed in the Williamsburg-Busch Gardens Area Campground. However, we did pass a campground on the trail at the 7 mile marker -- The Chickahominy Riverfront Park. You could get to the trail right from the Park. Thanks for your support of our channel.

@malley4747 3 месяца назад

Where does this start exactly. Or can I Google it?

@Adventuresonebikes 3 месяца назад

The trail starts at the Jamestown Settlement. You should be able to Google that, or if you have the TrailLink app that will show you where mile 0 is. If you pay for the subscription to TrailLink (I think it’s $19.95/year) then it will give you GPS directions. Thanks for watching.
