Actually the current "hard times" is what got me started touring. Although I invested a good deal of money in my bike and gear its way cheaper then a car. I'm currently unemployed and am going to spend the next year or so touring the country.

Routes / Virginia routing help.........

« on: August 31, 2010, 10:12:18 am »

Hello all...........Late September I am touring from southern new Jersey to Roanoke Va. I am going to take ferries across the Deleware and Chesapeake bays and land in Reedville Va. From there I want to head to Richmond area and hook up with the transam trail. My only concern is crossing the Rappahannock river. Is anyone familiar with route 360 and the Tappahannock bridge? Just wondering what conditions are and if crossing the bridge on bicycle will be a problem. Trip should be clear sailing once I cross this river. Thanks in advance.
