My name's Jenn. I sleep in McLean, VA. I ride a black Gemini that will probably never be clean again, after two weekends at Snowshoe. I ride mostly at the 'Shed and Gambrill. You will never find me at Fountainhead. I can't hack it. Sometimes for fun I ride a 70's three-speed Raleigh Suburban on asphalt paths and whatnot.

Scott. Former resident of Springfield/Harrisonburg/Blacksburg where I cut my teeth riding. I now live in CA and still ride a not-so-cool Giant Warp that the only original parts on it are the quick-release for the seat and the stem. CA is cool and all, but I miss the east like you wouldn't believe. I make maps for a living, which is a kickass job but I get paid crap. Oh yeah... 28 years young and loving it.

My name is John. I ride a completely stock Specialized Hardrock Sport (purchased it a weeks ago with my first paychecks :D ). Iam 16 years old and a rising senior at Richard Montgomery Highschool. I've been riding for really a week. Only trails I've been on so far has been Schaeffer Farm and the Cabin John Trails.

A pic from my first crash :o I attempted a ~ 3-4 foot drop into creek bed at the cabin john trail. My front wheel snagged a root and I want over the bar =\
 
I'm Chris, I'm from Delaware where mountain biking doesn't really exist, but i've been going to Virgina Tech for the last 5 years (I might graduate someday) and the riding around here is great. I'm 23 and I ride a .243 and a Schwinn bmx. I've also got my Gary Fisher Tassajara frame and some parts laying around from when I started mountain biking in 2000. Here are a couple pictures:

DC (Da Capital)
Name is Gordon, working on my 38th year of existence.
Been living in Williamsburg for the past 2 years, spend most of my time riding Freedom Park and Waller Mill (before the hurricane), although work takes me to DC a couple of times a month so I've also been riding (gasping??? ;) ) Fountainhead when I get the chance. I also rode up at SnowShoe and Massanutten this summer, with a return trip to SS planned in September (hey, someone has to race in the "Beginner" class).
I've got a Ironhorse Downhill Pro, tweaked Trek Liquid, and a Fisher 29er.
I need to find out more about the Shed, but I'll ask about that in another thread (no rhyme intended). :help:
