O-Hilly 5K Trail Race ... Charlottesville, VA... 6/6/2017
Excuse the shakiness. Just some amateur GoPro video from the O-Hilly 5K, hosted by the Charlottesville Area Trail Runners. This race has more than 680 feet of climbing over about three miles, and it's a tough one. But it's a lot of fun. The C'ville Trail Runners do a great job with this event.

Design features/ideas for the Scottsville Emerald Necklace - from the Monticello Walking Trail
The Monticello Walking Trail/Saunders Trail, in Charlottesville, Virginia, is a wonderful trail that connects Route 20, to Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. The trail is roughly 2 miles long.
The trail has design features that are concepts worth considering for the future implementation of the Scottsville Emerald Necklace.
The Scottsville Emerald Necklace trail network is a design idea for the system of trails and parks in the Scottsville and Greater Scottsville Area. The system references the most famous park system in the United States, The Boston Emerald Necklace, designed by Frederick Olmsted.
Each 'emerald' in the necklace is a park that is connected to each of the other 'emeralds' , by walking trails and waterways. Together they form the Necklace. Olmsted, the father of American Landscape Architecture, created the Boston Emerald Necklace in 1870.
The center piece of the Scottsville Emerald Necklace is the Van Clief Nature Area.
Jefferson Swaps His Horse for a Bike
In honor of the Richmond 2015 UCI Road World Championships and the USA Cycling Team's training residency in Charlottesville and Albemarle County this September, Thomas Jefferson swapped his horse for a bicycle and took his first ride on the West Lawn of Monticello.
Monticello welcomes cyclists to use the Saunders Monticello Trail up to the Visitor Center (observing the speed limit of 10mph).

Ep 293: Afton Mountain Vineyards Proves Why Virginia Wine is So Unique
Virginia, on the east coast of the United States, has much history with grape growing, but not all of it was good. Today, however, exciting producers have mastered their microclimates and are making some of the freshest, most nuanced, terroir-driven wines in the United States.
This week I sit down with Elizabeth Smith of one of the top wineries in this lovely state, Afton Mountain Vineyards. We discuss everything from Virginia history with grape growing, to terroir obsession, to the European flare of the region, and why the wines are so darn good. If you don't know much about VA or you're an obsessive this podcast will be equally fascinating!
Elizabeth and Tony Smith both grew up in Charlottesville and had lifelong ties the Blue Ridge Mountains. After working and raising a family in coastal VA, and even trying their hands at grape growing there (not quite the right terroir!), they decided to move back to their hometown for their second act – winegrowing and making. They bought Afton Mountain Vineyards in 2009 and in this show, Elizabeth shares their story and how they came to make some of the best wine in Virginia.
Elizabeth shares her background and how she went from investment management to property management to winery management (and rocked them all!)
Elizabeth gives us a true education on the Monticello appellation – what matters to quality wine, what is challenging in growing grapes here, and why she and Tony selected the most westerly site in the Monticello AVA to make their elegant wines
We dork out on microclimates, what makes Virginia so unique, and why elevation, and extremely attentive (obsessive) vineyard management is the only way to make great wine in Virginia and why sustainable viticulture is better than organic in a dicey climate like that in the Monticello area.
Elizabeth answers the question: Why does Damien Blanchon, their French winemaker, and so many other French winemakers find themselves in Virginia, and decide to stay (hint: challenge without restriction!)
We talk about the varietals that do well for Afton Mountain (Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, and Albariño for the whites, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Tannat, and Sangiovese for the reds) and the flavors they yield from this land. We have an interesting side bar about how Petit Verdot can really suck if not handled well!
We wrap with Elizabeth talking about how far Virginia wine has come in the last 10 years and a BIG teaser on a project Afton Mountain is starting this fall!
Find out more about Elizabeth and her wines at aftonmountainvineyards.com and come to the Underground Wine Event on 11/9/19 in Washington D.C. to meet her and taste her beautiful wines!
