Description:
Join Hugh, Laura, Jack and our friends from Northern Neck Cycling (the bike
club on Virginia’s Northern Neck) for a ride from Kilmarnock to Reedville and back. The ride will start and end at Lancaster Middle School in “downtown” Kilmarnock. Highlights include a lunch stop at Fairport Marina (a really casual,
dockside restaurant on Cockrell’s Creek), a riding tour through Reedville and a
stop at Chitterchats in Reedville for ice cream.  

Modern Reedville was founded
in 1874 when Captain Elijah Reed transferred his menhaden fishing operation
from Brooklin, Maine to the Chesapeake Bay. He
purchased the land on Cockrell's Creek that is now Reedville. Today the small
town of Reedville is one of the major US ports for the landing of commercial fish (menhaden),
second only to Kodiak, Alaska. (Source: www.rfmuseum.org/history.html)

Slower and faster paced
riders are welcome and will be given cue sheets so that they may ride at their
own pace.  As always, tandems are welcome
(Hugh and Laura plan to ride their tandem). 
Also, there will be an alternate 25 mile route with a stop at Brown
Store Market for those looking for a shorter ride.  The 25 mile route does not go to Reedville. 

This is going to be a very
social ride with a lot of stops.  It will
probably take most of the day.  If you
want to spend the night/weekend on the Northern Neck, you might try the Tides
Inn at 804-438-5000 (expensive), the Holiday Inn Express at 804-436-1500
(relatively inexpensive) or Belle Isle State Park (camping) at (804) 462-5030.

If you are planning to join
us for lunch, it would be helpful if you could email Hugh (hugh at theaarons.com)
by Wednesday, July 2 so that he can call in a rough head count to Fairport
Marina.

Directions:
Lancaster Middle School (191 School Street, Kilmarnock, VA  22482) is about 1 hour and 20 minutes from the Richmond Airport so make sure you get an early start, especially if you are coming from
the West End or the Southside. Take Interstate 64 East to exit
220 for Route 33 East to West
 Point. Continue 17 miles
past West Point to a stoplight at the crest of a hill in Glenns and turn left
onto Route 33/US 17 North. Stay on Route 33/US 17 North for 2 miles and bear
right at the Hardees into Saluda.  At the
traffic light at the courthouse in Saluda, turn right
onto Route 33 and proceed 6.8 miles to the stoplight at the Route 3
intersection. Turn left onto Route 3 West and continue on Route 3 over the Rappahannock River
(on the Norris Bridge) and through the towns of White Stone and into Kilmarnock.  In downtown Kilmarnock, turn left onto Jessie Ball Dupont Memorial Hwy (Route 200) and then make the next right onto School Street.   Lancaster Middle School will be on your left about a half a mile from the
turn onto School
  Street.

Description:
Join Hugh and our friends from Northern Neck Cycling (the bike club on Virginia’s Northern Neck) for a ride from Kilmarnock to Heathsville and back. The ride will start and end at Lancaster Middle School in “downtown” Kilmarnock.  This is an opportunity to check
out a modified version of a route that was recommended to us by the Northern
Neck Cycling.  The route includes
stretches out and back on Devil’s Bottom Road, which is a fun road for cycling.  Plus, who can resist riding a road called
“Devil’s Bottom”?  Hugh will be riding
his folding bike.  He is aiming for an A
pace, but it might be more of a B+.  Slower
and faster paced riders are welcome and will be given cue sheets so that they
may ride at their own pace.
