One issue for riders is always finding a place to sleep, eat, and shower on the cowboy trail. While going through Tilden, I was notified of a couple of things that might be of interest to riders in the future in Tilden. 1) There is a park on the east side of Tilden that has showers and a bathroom, which are free to use. Spending the night is $20, but for those who just want to pitch a tent the price might be negotiable (I know of two riders who were allowed to stay for free). 2) The current convenience store is going to be tore down and replaced with a new store across the street. 3) The plan is after the old station is demolished a small motel (6-12 rooms) will be built on the site of the existing store.......hopefully within the next year.
The spacing of Tilden might not be perfect for some riders as it is only 22 miles from Norfolk, but for some it might have some benefit.
