If you missed it, next up is the opening of the trailhead in Jamestown in mid-late March. These things are a lot of fun, so we look forward to seeing all 1,055 Facebook fans there!
Virginia Capital Trail Foundation Thank you to all who attended the downtown Richmond ribbon cutting last Thursday. Governor Tim Kaine said those words we've longed to hear: The future construction of the Trail is fully funded! Thank you Governor! And now Mayor Jones is a big supporter.

Virginia Capital Trail Foundation Yesterday a combined group of WAB and Charles City bicyclists enjoyed a joint ride along the Courthouse segment of the trail. We had a fun time and enjoyed lunch at the (Cul's Courthouse) Grille afterward. Alfred Crump, Director of CC Parks and Rec helped us organize the ride and we gave away five bike helmets. It was beautiful out there, crisp and cool!
