Big thanks to the folks on this group and the VA paddling groups that let me tag along while on my week in Richmond. You sure made visiting the in-laws something to look forward to :) I made it out for 4 days on the river and had a group to shuttle with every time. Hope to meet up with you again on ...

It was nice to meet the group on Sat morning. I had a chance to try out a new boat that I picked up while on my visit to VA earlier by walking up to pipeline and making all the adjustments I needed before meeting the group. I switched from a Wavesport Ace 5.1 (7'5" - 51 gal) to a Dagger Medieva...

I would like to join the group, too. See you in a little bit.

Thanks, I hope to meet your group. If i am lucky, it will be for a second run.

Yesterday worked out pretty nice. I made it out for a bike trip across Bell Isle with one of my visiting uncles. Bike paths offered a nice ride and I was able to see things that I had missed when ridding in the trails the previous day. I also made it out to the 14th St take out about 5:30. After 10 ...

Met up with the group today for an afternoon paddle on the Lower Section. The shuttle party went pretty smooth until I realized that I left my shorts and shirt in the car at the take out. No biggie just went in my regular clothes...that sure beats washing them. Names will be tricky to remember but I...

Very good so far. 2hrs & 12 miles into the loop. I am at Reedy Creek which should be half way back to my car. Forrest Hill was a lot of fun.

I will plan on being there. Thanks.

I made it up from Florida today and I like it here. Big thanks to "julesagogo" for the informative post with directions and descriptions. http://coastals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1151 After getting settled with family, I went out to get familiar with the area and find the put in and take ...

I am heading up to VA and should be there tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to meeting some of you for paddling. I should be at the bike trail about 7 AM and will pretty much ride until I can find a paddling buddy. If there are any mid week day paddlers give me a ring. Otherwise I'll look forward ...

I also found out there's a Mountain Bike Trail in the same area. I'll plan on getting there earlier and go for a bike ride. I wasn't even planning on bringing my bike because I didn't think we were going to be close to the mountains. Write ups on the place are really good. I think the trails are co...

Please - on your way up, bring a tropical storm or two because you could be highly disappointed unless you do. :D We'll gladly send them up to you but I am sure you only want the little ones. 2004 and 2005 brought the eye of three Hurricanes right over my house. No damage since we just built it in ...

Hello all! Very nice to see such an active forum, trip reports and pictures. Lots of info on questions that I would have asked being a tourist from Florida heading up to your area for the first time. I will be visiting family that is just 10 mins outside of Richmond for the Week of July 18-20 and wo...
