I made it up for the last sunrise of 2016. This is a photography blog so that’s enough words.

It pays to scout out a new shooting location. Then you can go back and get the good shots. I’m glad I still had time on our little trip or I wouldn’t have discovered this awesome angle of yesterday’s shoot.

I’m committing to competing in the Challenge Williamsburg this Summer. I took an entire year off of racing and am itching to get back “in the saddle” so to speak. I think I might be done (won’t really say “never”) with pure bicycle racing for now, but need/want to stay fit. I think this is how I’ll do it. I was looking over the course maps and sure enough, this is where it starts!

I only post one image here per day, but I’ve taken countless images over this past year. I should start going back through my photos more often because I’d find stuff that I completely forgot about. Perhaps that’s why I took the image in the first place…
No this isn’t Kevin Bacon’s house. No, they don’t store bacon here. It was a trip that really started with “let’s ride the ferry today.”
side note: I had participated in a ride back in 1988 that’s now part of Bike Virginia. The very first edition was called “The Colonial Williamsburg Bike Trek” and it was a first for me. First really big, organized ride and my first one on my own. Big deal as a junior in high school. No parents. No siblings. Lots of responsibility.
Anyway, I remember part of that ride back in ’88 had us hop the ferry over to Surry and ride near all the crop fields and I thought it was a very cool place. So I convinced my wife to hop the ferry and we explored Surry for a day. If you’re into history, I highly recommend it.
