Hi Claudia......I'm about an hour west of Richmond, so don't know that area of the state as well as I should! I'm more familiar with the Blue Ridge Parkway and places west.

BUT, that being said, I've posted a question on the Mid-Atlantic board and those gals will be able to load you up with their favorite options. (The thread is titled "Favorite rides in, around, and between Norfolk and Richmond") I'm eager myself to hear what they have to say.

I do know that the Richmond area has an active and well-thought of bike club: RABA (Richmond Area Bicycle Association). Their website includes ride suggestions and cue sheets. Check it out at www.raba.org.

The "Northern Neck" and the Williamsburg area are very popular with cyclists and would be within easy reach of where you'll be. I won't be surprised if both pop up in suggestions offered by TE'ers who are closer to the coast than I am!

Glad you're coming to the Old Dominion for a visit!
