Dragon Run always delivers a good day. Not truly a gravel ride, definitely not a road ride, the route is about a third gravel and two-thirds paved.
Winding through parts of the Dragon Run State Forest and King and Queen County, the entire route is frequented by very few motorists. With lots of shade on much of the route, it makes for a calm and cooler-than-expected ride regardless of the weather.
This was the kind of ride where I have to look back at the map to retrace my steps to make sure I included it all.
With constant variation in the terrain, weather, and pace things were always a little hectic, in a good way.
After a two year Covid hiatus our 200k ride series is BACK.
The last time we did these rides (all the way back in 2019) we rode the 6 Rivers, West Point, and Jamestown Nocturnal 200. This year all three are back (with some fun updates) and we’re kicking things kick off with the 6 Rivers 200.
Richmond is the kind of city that you can live in for almost 20 years and still learn new things about.
