A few years ago, we rode from Jamestown to Richmond, stayed the night and then biked back. We stopped at Cul’s Courthouse Grille for lunch both ways. It was a great two day trip. This spring we biked from Jamestown to Cul’s for lunch and then biked back, just like you did. They serve a great lunch and always treat their patrons well. I think they love to have people riding the trail stop in.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with the trail. We appreciate your support of our channel.

We always appreciate your continued support. We hope you get a chance to ride this trail, and we hope to get back and ride it to the end in Richmond sometime soon. Thanks for watching.
I LOVE this trail. I’m as 31-year resident of Williamsburg and I run this trail weekly. I learned something about those historical markers on the path just past the Settlement- who knew that there was an audio guide explaining them! Don’t forget to stop at Spoke and Art (towards the beginning of the trail). A great place meet other bikers/runners and get a cold beverage.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your love for the trail. We wish we had saved a second day to get all the way to Richmond! Thanks for watching.
We are in Williamsburg right now. 1st visit and we will see if we have time for a ride as we are only here for a couple days. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you get a chance to get out on this trail while you are in the area. Thanks for watching.
Nice video. I rode about 30 miles on this trail from the Richmond end a couple months ago and it was very enjoyable. I’d like to ride some of the Jamestown end too soon. It looks to be more interesting than the Richmond end.
Thank you for sharing your experience on this trail. We appreciate your support of our channel.
Great video as always. One day, God willing my wife and I will be able to do something similar to you all.
Thank you for your continued support and kind comments. We hope you get the opportunity to get out and enjoy all the great trails across the US.

Nice video!! What kind of e bikes are you riding?
Thanks for watching. Our bikes are Gazelle Ultimate C8’s.
How much battery life was left after 45 miles 🤔 ?
Our bikes have a range of up to 90 miles in ECO. We did ride for a bit in tour on this trail. We had about 1/3 of our battery left. Thanks for watching.
You were right next door! I so wish we could have met and ridden together. Sigh.
Darn!! That would have been fun. Thanks for your support of our channel.
@@Adventuresonebikes Are you headed for the Creeper Trail?
Some day. It’s not in our plans for this year, but we want to ride the entire Greenbrier and then Virginia Creeper sometime soon.
Where does this start exactly. Or can I Google it?
The trail starts at the Jamestown Settlement. You should be able to Google that, or if you have the TrailLink app that will show you where mile 0 is. If you pay for the subscription to TrailLink (I think it’s $19.95/year) then it will give you GPS directions. Thanks for watching.
