Chesapeake Bay Reservoir Ride – Back Roads to Diascund Creek
Today’s ride was based on one suggested at motorcycleroads.com.
It was a scenic ride visiting a few ponds and reservoirs in the Chesapeake bay area.
I had no idea how much farm land was in my back yard until I ventured far outside the city.
I really enjoyed the back roads. Most of them were very well kept and had just the right mix of straight-aways and windy bits.
I did notice as soon as I crossed into New Kent county that the first stretch of road wasn’t very well kept.
I didn’t make it to my intended destination — Diascund Creek. I must have written the directions down wrong since I ended up making a right instead of a left onto Stage Rd.
Instead of a creek I found horses. I really couldn’t complain, they’re such pretty animals. Instead of hooking up with Rte. 60 I ended up doubling back.
On my way back I was greeted with newly repaved road — right where I had thought it could use some repairs.
Unfortuantely this meant that I would have to ride on half-finished road for a stretch. It wasn’t fun at all.
I’m looking forward to doing this ride again. Next time I’ll be sure to bring a GPS, or at least some better directions.
