Tour de Virginia
Saturday September 12, 2009

125 mile ride from the Willoughby Boat Ramp (near the Hampton Bridge/Tunnel), heading west by the Naval Base, south down the Elizabeth River to Downtown Norfolk, southeast to the Great Bridge Lock, east through the intracoastal waterway (ICW), then south again to the VA/NC stateline. From there another 20 miles south via Currituck Sound to the Coinjock Marina & Restaurant (http://www.coinjockmarina.com/restaurant.php) for gas and lunch, then return. There's plenty of pier parking for the skis just feet from the restaurant.

0730 Start of ride (needs to be early to secure first come/first serve weekend parking at Willoughby Boat Ramp and make a timely Great Bridge Lock opening)
0930 Arrive Great Bridge Lock (GBL) for bottom-of-the-hour opening
1000 Depart GBL 1130 Arrive Coinjock NC (lunch & fuel at Coinjock Marina & Restaurant)
1300 Depart Coinjock NC

Ghostrider & I will see you at the locks at 9:30am. Any one else who cares to join post up so PARiverRunners can have a head count.

 

I'm in.

 

I am still debating on whether or not to ride but as of right now I am in.


I am trying to get ThsPoq to come ride and BlackZ-24 as well.

 

Word, get seventytimes7 to roll...hes on that side of the water.

 

a modded premixed ski on a 125 mile trip = bad idea

 

True that, what you riding?

 

excuses, excuses, excuses.

 

Sorry guys, but a 125 mile trip is outrageously long on a jetski. I can only take a few hours on mine and I get bored.

 

This is where my couch comes in handy If the weather is nice it'd be a cool way to end the riding season.
