Join us for another year of cycling fun at the 2010 Cap2Cap ride, one of the fastest growing cycling events in the region! Your participation supports the Virginia Capital Trail Foundation in its mission to make the Virginia Capital Trail a world-class adventure. Once again, you will be treated to Virginia’s most stunning scenery while pedaling through 400 years of history. And thanks to extensive support from the Richmond and Williamsburg bike clubs, you will find friendly and knowledgeable volunteers ensuring you have a great day.
Three distances, Two Starting Locations and One Unforgettable Day
Do you want to spend the day in the saddle pedaling 100 miles? Or do you feel more like a 50-miler? How about a comfortable 25-miles? Decide on your distance then choose your starting location: downtown Richmond along the James River in the Rocketts Landing village, or beside the beautiful Chickahominy River at James City County’s Chickahominy Riverfront Park. Both offer exciting and beautiful scenery for your mass start, and a whole lot of fanfare. Each route brings you back to where you started, happy and hungry and ready for more Cap2Cap fun. Keep in mind, you must finish where you start. There is no shuttle service if you end up at the wrong finish point. And for you who are counting on a cold adult beverage after your ride, we can only offer that at the Richmond venue due to regulations at Chickahominy Park.
The Route
Ride through one of the oldest inland routes of commerce in the New World as you meander through Charles City and Eastern Henrico Counties. Take in the abundant beauty as your cue sheet sends you through Civil War battlefields, underneath the generous tree canopy along Route 5, and across farmland that remains largely unchanged since our country’s colonial days. As you ride, you will see portions of the beautiful Virginia Capital Trail currently under construction between Richmond and Williamsburg.
The Virginia Capital Trail Foundation
The Virginia Capital Trail Foundation (VCTF) is a 501 (c(3) organization, and is the principal advocate for the completion and enhancement of the Virginia Capital Trail, a 55-mile long, dedicated multi-use trail connecting Richmond and Williamsburg along the historic and beautiful Rt. 5 corridor. To make the Trail the world-class attraction it should be, the Foundation raises money to promote it within the region, the state and the nation through partnerships and larger trail affiliations. The VCTF is also charged with enhancing the Trail by installing signs, trailheads, benches and other amenities making the trail experience safe, educational and most importantly, unforgettable. To pursue this mission, the VCTF depends on contributions from people like you. Consider making a tax-deductible donation when you register.
