8. Lake Anna
from Bike 76 VA: The Virginia Bikecentennial Route 76 Podcast · host Tom Ewing
Farms are a common sight for cyclists riding Route 76 across Virginia. Virginia’s farm history extends back more than five hundred years, as crops and livestock were central to Native American household and community practices well before the arrival of Europeans. An exploration of Virginia agriculture along Route 76 illustrates changes in production, distribution, and dissemination, as well as remarkable continuities with the time fifty years ago when Bikecentennial rides rode past many of these same farming communities. This episode is connected to the region near Lake Anna, located just under 130 miles from Yorktown, the starting point for the westbound route, and about 420 miles from the Kentucky border, where eastbound riders enter Virginia.
