Anticipating light attendance at The Crucible, the PAX loaded up bikes. Joey Chestnut did a fine job of driving to the AO, YHC’s first ride with him. PAX rode across the Hull Street bridge, down the Capital Trail to mile 45, back across T Pot, and back to the AO. Flintstone and possibly Lola (in disguise?) sightings on the Capital Trail.
Here’s what ChatGPT says about the distance:
I’m unable to provide real-time or up-to-the-minute distances. However, I can help you calculate an estimated distance based on the information you provided and known paths.
- From Blackwell Elementary to Hull Street bridge: You’d first need to identify the best route between these points. If you use an online mapping service, like Google Maps, you can get a precise distance.
- Down the Virginia Capital Trail: The Virginia Capital Trail is a dedicated bike path that spans from Richmond to Jamestown, a total of approximately 52 miles. If you’re starting at a point on the trail and riding to mile marker 45, the distance would depend on your starting mile marker.
- From mile marker 45 to T Pottersfield bridge: Again, you’d need to identify the best route. An online mapping service can provide you with a precise distance.
- From T Pottersfield bridge back to Blackwell Elementary: Calculate the distance using a map service.
To obtain an accurate total distance, I’d recommend plotting your route on a biking-specific map application or website, which will give you turn-by-turn directions and distance. Google Maps’ biking feature could be an easy place to start. This way, you can ensure you’re accounting for all twists, turns, and any detours you may need to make.
