From the motorcycle ride on Sunday July 9. Made a few stops along the way. Took this photo from the Canal Walk area of Richmond. The old Canals were part of a transportation system used just after the Revolutionary War and have been restored in the recent years. There is a lot to see and do on them with many restaurants as well as art...even a sort of Canalboat rides. It is a fun place to explore, especially on a quiet Sunday. Usually a packed and popular place.
This is Richmond seen from Rocketts Landing. Once again a nice place to visit with a lot of Restaurants and as you can see, some really great views from the shores of the James River. In that area is a bike trail (paved) which runs from that area all the way to Williamsburg, VA and is very popular. I take a different sort of bike ride
On I went to a series of old Confederate forts (that is Fort Hoke with my motorcycle beside it) just off of VA5. Nice place to visit especially on a quiet Sunday. There is a whole series of forts along that road as well as the interconnected earthworks.
This is Fort Johnson. These were all part of the Richmond defense line. One of the larger ones is Fort Harrison which was captured by the Union during the Civil War. It was a wild time in the history of this country. Not too far up the road from these forts is the Malvern Hill Battlefield which I also enjoy visiting.
It was a wonderful day for the motorcycle ride with low heat and humidity. Fun to visit some of my favorite places in the city and to just get out in the breeze. I have a few more photos on my "Racing with the Wind" blog page from this ride. Thanks for visiting!
