Rode with a female friend (who rode her Harley Heritage) to Yorktown. Went via Highway 5, very scenic and went past a number of plantations. It sure beat my previous two trips via I-64. Also of note, this time it was both warmer (in fact it was very hot and humid) and there was a crowd there on the beach and in town (last trip earlier this year was almost empty). Neat having a beach this close and of course in one of the most historic places in America. This is the city where the Revolutionary War ended. They also have some very old buildings dating to the 1700's...a cool place to explore and not far from RVA.
Second photo is on the Jamestown Ferry, we left Yorktown on the bikes, rode the Colonial Parkway (just an amazing road) to Jamestown and got on the ferry.
The ferry is free and crosses the water (not sure what water, but it took about 20 minutes to do so) to the other side. Was cool getting loaded on there and enjoyed the view as we went.
As I noted was my first time to do this, had a great time on board. Nice views and even got to go past Jamestown (which you can see in the last photo below.
Jamestown is a very historic place, and I have been there before as well, and it is seen at left. As for me, we rode back via Highway 10 which again was a very scenic route past a lot of farms, more plantations, and light traffic.
Spent a lot of time there, did not bring stuff to get wet in the York River (damn the bad luck!) but sure was nice there. Looking forward to the next visit there, it was a great deal of fun.
