Cool, so we'll have 6ish people?

Myself, Downy, Damien, Ben, Sarah, Kiristin.

Anyone else coming?

See we dont need Mark and his crew! SUNDAY RIDERS RULE!


David, I can pick you up if needed, but it would be better for me to just stay on the highway... Let me know. PM me your number or somthing


EDIT: actually, I may be splitting the trip in half and coming home Sat night. If that is the case, I can take you. I"ll let you know tonight or tomorrow when I know for sure

Hey folks,

I'll meet you out there on Sunday. Damien, I'm looking forward to finally riding with you.

Downey, email me at tom_osullivan_[at]_crimsontreesoftware_[dot]_com and we'll make arrangements to drive up together. I'm sure you know how to make that address work.

Cool, sounds good Tom. You have a truck right? As the number of riders for the Sunday ride grows, it might be handy to have another truck other than Ben's for the shuttles. See ya then.

To late to join the sunday ride?
I have been riding fountainhead 2 or 3 times a week and need some new trail.
How far is this place from Woodbridge, about 45min south of DC?
I have a busted K2, 2 seater, and a bike rack.

Wow, there's lots of people now... Cool, as long as we can all get up the mountain! (or pretend mountain if you will)


I am in the middle of a big dilemma here. I got my English paper back, and my teacher did not like it so much. My entire class grade depends on this paper. I have to get it done tomorrow, and ALSO install my new Evil. BUT, I have a show tomorrow night I have to run. I gotta be there at 6:30, and it will probably go until about 10.

My plan is to try and get my paper done in the morning, get to the bike shop for some tools and finish putting on my evil in the afternoon, and then do the show, and then drive up home for the night, and ride Sunday.

I hope I can get it all done!

Tom probably won't be making it up unless if conditions drastically improve. But I think I'll be ok since i'm on a dh/fr bike. Can anyone give me a ride? I'm in Annandale (NOVA).

Mike, I can pm you directions. It shouldn't be more than 5 minutes out of your way to pick me up if u take 95 to the beltway to 270. (I don't know how you get to the shed from richmond though).

Just got in, sorry for the late notice. I am out for tomorrow's ride.

Call me a wimp, if you like, but this is more rain than I'm comfortable dealing with on the rocks.

Catch you all another time.

You can count me out too.
I got a little brave hucking off a hill today and had a main course of dirt along with some grass and a side of sharp tree branch.

If someone can pm me the directions there i might go Weds or Thurs or maybe both. I can take one person and 3 bikes with me. I live 40min south of DC in Woodbridge

Glad to hear you guys had a great time... Sorry I didn't make it up. I went out and rode a little street Sat night and blew the bearings out in my swing arm... AGIAN! Gotta get it repaired before this weekend, can't miss Mass-of-nothing!

Nice meeting you DamienC and Sarahmaria(?). I was the rigid singlespeeder that took a wrong turn and ended up at the bottom of the hill. One look at you guys and I felt like a fish outta water! That hill climb up was :dead: !

I was on a totally different vibe, but I had an awesome 15 mile ride. I'll just remember to stay out of y'all's way :p

Dude - crazy respect for riding a rigid SS in that area of the Watershed :thumb:. It was nice to meet you too! I was psyched to see another Outback with an Angry Asian sticker :D.

With the right gearing, you can practically ride everything. I like 32x17.

The funny thing about the sticker is that I put it on and gave up suspension soon after! :confused:
