Monday ride to Colonial Heights (July 9, 2018)

 Nice day once again to get out, heat is still not terrible and the humidity was low but it was rising.
Got out on I-95 and rode to Colonial Heights, Va which is just outside of Richmond, VA. Nice community and also is located just outside of Petersburg, VA. I considered riding to Petersburg but being as that it was early headed back to Richmond. Petersburg has some great places to eat! Anyhow took sort of a wrong turn and ended up at this battlefield site. It was near an old confederate fort and was a Boy Scout project.
Rode down Jefferson Davis Highway into Chester. Nice road and slower then I-95 with some nice things to look at along the way.
Back into Richmond with this photo just off Jefferson Davis. I like the "Ace Cycle Shop" which has been closed all the years that I have been here. Guess it was once a motorcycle shop but real fond of the sign. In the distance is the Model Tobacco factory. Again that is long closed but ia now used for other purposes. Great art deco building. This ride covered 56 miles and I had a great time.
