Ah. I am biking to Richmond tomorrow morning! (rt.5)
We affectionately call that the "5 and Dime" ride, out 5, cross on the ferry at Jamestown, then along to the Surry Restaurant for brunching, then back to Petersburg into R'town via 10. really nice morning ride. Ferry is free... and a pleasant cruise...
Ya made me look, because I hate it when places close up, and I say "stop here"... I don't see that the old Surry restaurant is shown any more.. but I would suggest a cool spot...
https://surryseafoodco.com/it's not to far after you leave the ferry, and make a right turn off 31... looks like good food.. I dunno, we always were riding thru before they opened...
let me know if it's good... it should be, right on the water like that...
