It's a good road and a nice ride from Fredericksburg to Gloucester. I'm not familiar with it north of Fredericksburg.

Due the snow we had 2 weeks ago I would be careful about the sand that has been laid down. Has rained a few times but nothing to really clean it off. Most of the salt is gone hopefully.

Still a lot of Sand on the Road other than that it's a Long but nice ride. Myself I would take 81 South to I64 and take that to Va Beach safer with the sand on the road and drivers not use to seeing Motorcycles back on the Road. Have a safe trip.

Recent rain should have washed off most salt and sand by now. Heavy truck traffic from Winchester to Fredericksburg, but otherwise, a nice scenic ride.
