Riding the RVA

 March 31 was a nice day to get out and one of the first times in a while to get out on two wheels. It is one of my favorite ways to get out to explore Richmond for a number of reasons.
Went to see a number of things. Those included the baseball stadium (aka "The Diamond" ) and also to the racetrack (aka Richmond International Raceway) which can be seen at left (the track being in the background as it was closed for "Easter Weekend". Ride up saw a number of cherry trees, while not yet blooming in Washington, DC they are in full bloom here.

From that area rode back to Monument Avenue where I got this photo of the Jefferson Davis Memorial. Not debating the wisdom of honoring the man, but this at any case is his monument.
Rode some more around Richmond. Oh while I was out made a short refreshment stop at Hardywood Brewing for a bit of ale. Some pretty tasty beverages there and its a favorite of mine (that and Legend Brewing).
All in all it was a really good ride and a wonderful day to do it. Spring is finally coming to the area after a winter that did not seem to want to end, and that is going to be a fun thing. My two favorite seasons are Spring and Fall and looking forward to making the most of the Spring season. There will be a lot to see and do...and it is my plan to see it, and do it.
