Anyone doing the Capital to Capital Century?

Puhleaze take the BF! My bday is in Sept and I'm trying to get the BF to get me one!

Hey everyone! The Cap2Cap is this weekend (my first century ). I hope to see everyone there.

I would love to do it, but my daughter is coming home for wedding dress shopping and I think I'll have to punt and do that instead.
I'm thinking of just riding it with my son the next morning. Surely they haven't finished the bike path the whole way. I drove the road a few months ago and it was still in process. Is the ride to be on road or on the path or most likely, a combination with lots riding either/both?

Only the Williamsburg end is complete, but I don't know how far towards Richmond. Either I or ASammy will post a report (right, A?) On the Richmond end (my end) the roads are pretty quiet country roads. I ride them quite a bit.

[ASammy1]

Yep, I'll post a report from the Williamsburg end.

I think only 7 or 8 miles of the 55 mile trail is finished. This century raises $$ for the trail. Part of the ride is on the Capital Parkway which my butt won't like...

Do you mean the Colonial Parkway? Oooh, yeah, that's a rough one!

Oops yes, I meant the Colonial Parkway. They really need to do something about that road. I got lost in Williamsburg once and ended up taking the tunnel after the 3rd time of trying to get around it :eek

I can't do Bike Virginia this year . I have family coming in to visit during that week and wont be able to go. We are pretty bummed out about that, but there will be other tours to go on...
