None of the links on their site seem to be working so I was wondering if anyone knew if they were still open? Also, do they do trade-ins? Maybe someone else can get it to work.

thanks

 

[CHOP]

They were stilll open a couple of weeks ago. Don't know what is up with the site, never really been to it.

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

cool. Thanks Chop. Are you the one to contact about shuttling sherando? I'd like to hit it up b/c i've heard it's super fun.

 

[CHOP]

No, I'm not a contact. I just ride up there and know a lot about the area. The trails up there don't need to be shuttled unless you absoluetly can't climb at all. Of course if a few people want to get together and put in some good riding time a shuttle is doable. Would not recommend a big bike at all. Spent many of years riding those trails on a hardtail. For the most part all the trails up there are pretty smooth except for sections here and there. Torrey Ridge and the lower part of Slacks has some rock gardens, but nothing that can't be done on a nice trailbike. I am in the process of getting a new trailbike and hopefully will be spending a lot of time on those trails in the near future. I will let you know when and will show you around.

if Wannabeabonedoc and Chop get together for some riding up there, be sure to let Wood-dog in on the opportunity, ok fellas?

A heads up would be real nice here too!

 

[Bearmntpicnic]

Hey, don't neglect the fat kid you don't know.

Never know, might turn into the Donner Party, in which case its good to have a chubb scout onboard.

If you shuttle!

 

[Bearmntpicnic]

the fat kid with the gun

These guys are kind of pathetic. Really poor customer service. They have a HUGE stock, but pretty worthless when you cannot access any of it. I called them last week to ask about the site and the kid who answered just said the site was down and the manager was going to update it. I asked him if he knew a time frame and he said no. I then asked if it would be a day, a week, month, any idea? His reply "Hell, it could be a year for all I care". Yeah, solid way to run a business buddy. I'm sure the owner would be proud. I recently moved over to Waynesboro to build a home. I moved from c'ville and so far I like it. I went in to this shop once to try and get some prices on some XT components and the burn out behind the desk spent 30 minutes trying to find where they were, and I finally had to leave to meet someone. I left my name and number and asked him to call once he figured it out. Of course, NO CALL!

Take your money elsewhere. Jackson at Rockfish is a good guy, and the guys at performance are great. Paul, Trevor and Chad at performance are very helpful.

 

[mud'n'sweat]

Oh, and I can be down for some shuttle runs anytime in the area as well.

 

[jncarpenter]

...shuttle? Who needs a shuttle when you've got one of these? :love:

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

You could give me a 3 inch travel 15 pound XC bike and I'd still want to shuttle. It's not a question of equipment. It's a matter of laziness.

 

[wood-dog]

Oh, and I can be down for some shuttle runs anytime in the area as well. [/QUOT


How is the riding there in Waynesboro and are you familiar whit any shuttleable trails in that area?

I second this opinion. I had a similar experience. Jackson at Rockfish Gap is indeed a much much better option.

The best trail to shuttle in the area is actually Reddish Knob just outside Harrisonburg. Not far at all. This shuttle ride is about 7.6 miles of great downhill ripping. You can find reviews of it on mtbr.com. If you ever want to head up there one day, let me know and we can run shuttle together.

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

I've heard great things about Reddish Knob. The reason I asked about Cycle Recycle is because I heard they do trade ins. I really wanna sell my liquid because I'm a suspension whore and i want a bike with more travel. If yous guys go up to H'burg, I could possibly join you with the rowdy ranger (my small truck) for some shuttling. Later.

 

[wood-dog]

nice, then we need to set a date fellow riders! Who wants to suggest what date for Reddishknob?

 

[Bearmntpicnic]

umm I dont know but I want in

 

[Bearmntpicnic]

how about like right after everything drys up from the snow as in like a week or two

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

How about, weather pending, March 4th. Anyone else have a possible date?

 

[mud'n'sweat]

Yeah, Reddish is best run during a bit more dry conditions. we'll be bombing at pretty high speeds. I think we should shoot for two weeks from this coming weekend which would be March 4th & 5th.

I'll be itchin' to ride. Just getting this Ellsworth built up and it needs some good downhill bombs. I'm headed down to O-Hill tomm. with another Waynes(brah)ian if anyone wants to ride.

 

[mud'n'sweat]

nice one futuredoc! I was busy at work with my response open but we were on the same page.

 

[VaNIlLin81]

i wouldnt go to o-hill..still wet and snowy as ever..went today, totally worthless

 

[wood-dog]

March 4th and 5th! Sounds excellent! I 'll get some other riders from the Richmond area who have big vehicles and big-hitting bikes. Lets do this thing!

 

[mud'n'sweat]

I'm sure Walnard Creek will be the same. It's really warming up though. I went by O-hill during lunch and it looked like it was clearing up fast. I can handle it wet and muddy, just a good excuse for my recent Geax 2.5's purchase. Suppose to be in the 60's the next two days. I haven't ridden since Thursday so I'm itchin' big time. I guess I could always go for a hike at Sherando or something. This clydsdale can't stay too lazy in the winter or else I'll blow up like suzanne summers (sp?)



Sounds like Reddish is on!

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

Yeah. Definately March 4th. I dont ride on sundays for personal reasons, but I'm all about some shuttling march 4th. It's marked on my calendar. Cool.

 

[wood-dog]

The 4th it is then! Yea Whoo!

 

[VaNIlLin81]

where is reddish..and how nice is it..is it all downhill stuff or what?

 

[mud'n'sweat]

Reddish is up by Harrisonburg, just slightly SW so it's on the C'ville/Waynesboro side of the city on the outskirts. It's around a resevoir and there is uphill, but it's all pavement/state route. A lot of people bike up the pavement, it's a good cardio but not much fun to stare at the tarmac as you can imagine. Just one of the few places in the area where shuttling is the way to go. It's a good 7.6 miles of killer downhill from the amazing view at the top.

 

[VaNIlLin81]

to bad i can't drive, sounds fun..i'm getting tired of riding the almighty o-hill everyday...i hope the trails will be clear tomorrow, i need to ride...every time i do urban stupid cops come out from dunkin donuts and decide to be pigs

 

[wood-dog]

Mud-n-sweat, I think you and I are going to get along juuussst fine! It sounds like we think alike.

 

[VaNIlLin81]

mud-n-sweat what time do you go riding? if you go riding early itd be great if u could post how it was..so if i get home i can just see if i should take 5 mins and go up there

 

[mud'n'sweat]

Right on Wood-Dog, we should get up soon. Judging by your sig, we definitely do think a lot alike!

I just recently started biking again (I have NO clue as to why I ever took a hiatus). I know a few riders, but most everyone works when I'm off, and I'm so addicted to riding again I go out every single chance I can.

Vanil, I'll probably go out early, but I don't know when I'll get back to the computer. I live in Waynesboro, and my friend lives literally 50 yards from the O-Hill trail heads. Hopefully I'll just end up taking a shower at his place afterwards because I have to go to work. I work up across the street from the C'ville airport so going back to Waynesboro is kind of out. I'll be at work about 3:30 and can post then, but you'll likely already be hitting the trails.

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

I've read about O'hill. Is it worth the trip to C'ville (1hour 15 min.)? Also, as far as reddish knob, here's a pic a friend of mine sent me. He said the trails were fast and flowy the whole way down.

view from the top.


I hope I can handle it on this:

By the way it's for sale if anyone's interested.....

 

[wood-dog]

O-hill IS NOT worth the 1 1/2 hour drive. There is about 5 miles of total trails and it is all up and down, very little in between. Now if you were talking about Walnut creek, that is a different story. It might be worth the drive. Still the total amount of miliage is slim, but it is a good workout with some fun runs. If you ever decide to come to C-ville, let me know and I will be happy to ride with you.

 

[mud'n'sweat]

wannabeabonedoc, what's the frame size/price? I can look up the geometry unless you got it. Will you sell without the fork? Looks like XT's, but what's the final run down?

 

[wannabeabonedoc]

ok here's the break down from my RM ad:
"UP for grabs. 03 trek liquid 20, Fox talas rear shock, RS pyslo XC up front with uturn. 85-125 mm fully adjustable travel. Recently had the extra firm spring put in so it's not as bouncy. It's still responsive to small bumps and takes the moderate size hits well. Hayes HFX-9's with 6 inch rotors. Brand new Sun rims with shimano qr hubs. These wheelsets have 3 rides on them, one of which was in my parking lot. Kona DH handlebars, Sette 7 Stumpy stem. Aheadset made by cane creek. Shimano LX in both front and back. Bontrager seat and post. Bontrager Cranks and a Shimano BB, and a Blackspire bash guard. Primo heavy as balls meat tenderizer pedals but man these things got traction. Maxxis Minion DHR 2.35 in back, IRC trailbear 2.3(i think) up front. Rides great. It's a good climber and a blast to ride back down. It handled Snowshoe Freeride Park with relative ease but that's because I'm not very good and stayed away from most of the huge drops. Anyway, I'm looking to get about $850 OR BEST OFFER."

That being said, I'm selling it to try and get a bike with a bit more travel. So, to sell it without the fork would probably not happen.
