Join us for the second annual ride from Kilmarnock to Reedville and back. There are three route options - 59, 49 and 26.  Both the 49 mile and 59 mile routes include a lunch stop at Fairport Marina (a really casual, dockside restaurant on Cockrell’s Creek near Reedville).  The 59 mile route also goes into “downtown” Reedville for ice cream at Chitterchats.  The 26 mile route does not go as far as Reedville and does not include the lunch stop or the ice cream stop.

This is going to be a very social ride with a lot of stops.  As always, tandems are welcome (Hugh and Laura plan to ride their tandem).

Cue sheets will be sent out in advance on the RABA and NNC email lists.  Please print a cue sheet for your desired route and bring it with you.  If you are not on the email lists, contact Hugh prior to the ride he will email you a cue sheet.

Directions:  The ride starts and ends at Lancaster Middle School in “downtown” Kilmarnock.  Lancaster Middle School (191 School Street, Kilmarnock, VA  22482) is about 1 hour and 20 minutes from the Richmond Airport so make sure you get an early start, especially if you are coming from the West End or the Southside. Take Interstate 64 East to exit 220 for Route 33 East to West Point. Continue 17 miles past West Point to a stoplight at the crest of a hill in Glenns and turn left onto Route 33/US 17 North. Stay on Route 33/US 17 North for 2 miles and bear right at the Hardees into Saluda.  At the traffic light at the courthouse in Saluda, turn right onto Route 33 and proceed 6.8 miles to the stoplight at the Route 3 intersection. Turn left onto Route 3 West and continue on Route 3 over the Rappahannock River (on the Norris Bridge) and through the towns of White Stone and into Kilmarnock.  In downtown Kilmarnock, turn left onto Jessie Ball Dupont Memorial Hwy (Route 200) and then make the next right onto School Street.  Lancaster Middle School will be on your left about a half a mile from the turn onto School Street.
