    Hey

    I would be up for a ride as well, since I haven't met anyone from here or cyclingcentralva yet.... If there's a lot of people, in a few weeks would be best for me as well, got a little contruction project going on at the homestead I need to finish up.

    Damaged Sprocket Question

    Came down hard on a big a$$ boulder yesterday and slammed my front outer sprocket on it. Later I noticed one tooth had bent over and another broke half off. I also noticed 1 or 2 more that looked to be damaged in the past and just wore smooth. The question is, when is it time to replace a...

    looks like an awesome setup you have going so far.... I'm not really skilled enough yet to ride something like that. I'll have to hit you up when i get my skills and confidence up.

    I tried out First Quarter Park last week

    Anybody else try this park ? Great trail for beginners. It took me a little bit to figure out the flow, the second half was great. EVMA says there are some intermediate areas so I was expecting some more difficulty, I think it could use some more obstacles. From an endurance stand point...

    Buttermilk put a hurting on me

    I'm pretty inexperienced, but I figured I'd try some parts of Buttermilk that are close to me, since Dartman introduced me to the trail on here. Well, let's just say, if you were a regular rider you would've probably been laughing your *ss off at me. Had to stop several times for a breather, and...

    Trails near Richmond ?

    Cool.... Yeah, I'm a former smoker, it seems like it can bother me worse sometimes than people that never touched the things. But I do enjoy Darts and some good beer now and then, hehe. But yeah, an older guy my fiance works with has a nice GT, I'm going to see if I can get him to hit that...

    How is Forrest Hill Park as far as clean and safe ? Some of the neighborhoods down there near Semmes look questionable.

    Hi, newbie intro with a few ???'s

    Cheers man..... Yeah, you aren't joking, bikes have really changed. I had a few BMX freestyle bikes when I was young, I thought they were really top end and expensive at around $500 US. Hahaha, that's pocket change compared to the price of bikes now days. I don't see myself buying anything other...

    Hi, newbie intro with a few ???'s

    thanks.... I've been trying to ride as much as possible since I got the bikes.... Work around the house makes it hard sometimes. I wish I knew of more trails around Richmond. I really need to purchase a decent bike rack next, but I drive a Scion Xb so my options are limited.

    Hi, newbie intro with a few ???'s

    Hi all, just a newbie from VA, thought I'd introduce myself. I bought a used GT and Giant for my fiance and I to ride and get some exercise. I'm really enjoying it, and I want to head west to Shenandoah and do some trail riding and get a little more aggressive with it. The GT is like new...
