looking forward to the Virginia Capital Trail

The Rocketts Landing Captain’s Blog’s One if by sea; two if by….bike? looks forward to the 50-mile Richmond-to-Williamsburg bike/pedestrian/equine/etc. Virginia Capital Trail:

The 50-mile path will eventually stretch from Williamsburg to Richmond, connecting the state’s first capital with its current one. The multi-use path, as it’s being called (roller blades, equines and even unicycles are welcome), will meander past old plantations along Route 5, and then hug the James River as it snakes past Rocketts Landing. [...] The project is being constructed piecemeal, with sections in downtown Richmond near Bottom’s Up Pizza and parts near Chickahominy and in Williamsburg already in place. The final route should be open to the public around 2012.

    How do bike tourists from D.C. travel into downtown Richmond along the East Coast Greenway in order to connect with the Virginia Capital Trail?

    If they decide not to take the Virginia Capital Trail, then how do they continue south along the East Coast Greenway?

    How come this is not part of the City’s Downtown Master Plan? I asked about this before and during the sessions.

    2012? I’m fading fast. By then I’ll be using a 3 wheeler with a basket. Actually that sounds kind of fun. I’ll have to get me one of those.

    Maybe one day the trail can be built to connect
    to the Applachian Trail, and it would be a great way to travel towards the Appalachian Trail throught the Virginia Capital trail,
    hike along the rest of route 60 W to the AT.

    Check out the website for the East Coast Greenway – http://www.greenway.org to see the updates on a planned North-South trail going through Richmond that runs from Maine to Florida.
