I got charged $17 for the shuttle this past weekend. I talked to a few others and some were getting the $35 bone.

They were running 2 trucks on sunday and it worked out good. I parked up top but it would be better to park at the bottom.

All of the trails with the exception of a couple spots were in great condition. There was a fallen tree on one trail we built up with rocks. The trail dudes were informed and said they'd clear it this week.

I want to go back this year but I'll wait on definite word that the lift is running.

Hey, I'm interested but not sure if I want to spend half my day driving just to ride shuttles... Is it worth it? I'm coming from Arlington/DC.

I'm skipping Dark Mountain due to having to work today.

What time is the Richmond crew rolling out?

is the shuttle service fast? in other words, how long do you have to wait for the shuttle and how long does it take to get to the top?

Looking at the directions it seems as if I go around on 295. But I am sure this can be amended.

Sorry can't pick up phone, at work right now.

I will roll from here before 7, get up your way right before 8 I figure. Will call from the road. That way I can also throw one more bike in the back if need be, and I can bail when I need to. Most likely going to ride from 10 to around 3, then head back to Norfolk.
