Description |
This is a sweet ride. Starting in Suffolk traveling up Hwy 10 through
mostly farm land. Then a trip across the James River from Scotland to
Jamestown. After that it gets real nice. After passing the Jamestown
Visitor's Center on the right, turn right to get on the Colonial Parkway.
This is truely a beautiful ride. It is about 15 miles to Yorktown on
the Parkway. It is heavly lined with trees and periodic lakes. Just
before ariving at Yorktown, the Parkway opens up to the York River.
Hang out in Yorktown for a bit, then return the same direction and stop
at Red Hot and Blue Bar-B-Que for a great lunch. It's located on Richmond Rd
in downtown Williamsburg.
