Left South Carolina and headed to Williamsburg, VA my next base for the upcoming metric century on Saturday. Stopped in Charles City, VA for a ride on the Cap-to-Cap Trail that runs between Richmond and Williamsburg. I have often ridden the trail as it has a paved surface and has fifty miles of traffic free riding. The trail is mostly flat but has a few very gently rolling climbs though doubt there is much over three percent. Parked in a lot along the trail at the oldest courthouse in the country. There were a few other riders in the lot either finishing rides or getting ready to ride. Charles City is at the center of the trail and headed west toward Richmond. The trail has been resurfaced since I rode it last May and many of the rough areas caused by tree root growth has been repaired making for a more comfortable ride. The western half of the trail is more rolling tan the stretch toward Williamsburg that is mostly pan flat. The weather was noticeably cooler than the current weather down south but was still great for riding. Passed a couple of dozen riders on my out and back route but it was mostly touring types and an occasional E-bike. Ended up going to Dorey Park before turning back. The park is about as far west as I go anymore as I have ridden the entire trail to the end in Richmond but avoid the area now. Once past the park the trail occasionally wanders onto urban sidewalks and commercial areas. Ride turned out to be a pleasant outing riding through wooded sections and farmland.
