The Nickel & Dime (Virginia State Route 5 and 10) - By HoboCoastie

This is a beautiful ride in the fall when the leaves are peaked. I do this ride often as I live in Yorktown. I usually take the Colonial Parkway out of Yorktown, up through Williamsburg, and pick up 5 on the other side of Williamsburg. Traffic has never been an issue and the quality of the roads is very good. This is NOT a technical ride with a lot of twisties, although the 10 leg has a couple stretches that are fun if you're going fast enough. Another reason I like this ride is it's very flexible. You can take the bridge across between 5 and 10 halfway between Richmond and Jamestown if you want to shorten the ride.
