Day 6: Friday, April 15, 2011

72 miles to Mechanicsville, VA
The day was spectacular and the ride incredible. As often as I have bicycled around Williamsburg, I never knew about the Capital Trail.  It picks up right at Jamestown and goes to the Chickahominy River, then restarts at Sherwood Forest Plantation and goes through verdant farm land.  We passed several other plantations and rode through the Richmond National Battlefield Park.  We stopped at the Old Dominion Outdoors store which was still closed for the season.  We used their picnic table and surprisingly the restrooms were unlocked and very clean.  Nice stop for us.

Road closed in Richmond Battlefield
We bicycled down it anyway and just had to get over a pile of boulders
