Hey, high school is finally coming to an end, and college will be starting in the fall. Ive settled on going to VCU and was wondering what the riding scene is like down there (eg. Street, Dj, etc.).
There is a bit of riding around, at best its spotty, mostly because peoples scheduals don't match up. We try and get it together, but...... things just fall through. There is plenty of street to be ridden, a BMX track a few miles outside of VCU and lots and lots of XC. You are also going to be ~2 hours from the mountains, and there is a LOT to ride in Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, basically anywhere along the ridge.
Sounds good. Im planning on studying Mechanical Engineering. Ill probably take my 20" down there since street would be the closest thing, as I probably wont have a car for the first year or so.
Oh, and im comin down from NoVA (Annandale to be specific).
Riding is awesome in the area. Ignore BigMike, he has a REAL job for a change so he's a little cranky, especially now that he has to get up before noon.

Belle Isle is great for XC and its within riding distance of VCU, and the BMX track is pretty fun and they have some races there in the summer, might be fun to check out.
VCU is a great school.Urban setting and all that goes with an Art/Design oriented school that also sports a Business department a growing engineering school and a medical school. Add to this an international student body.
I don't know of another school where you could ride from your dorm room to approx.14 miles of single track in 5 mins.

WVU and there are 3 sets of Dj's a skatepark, Bmx track, and hundreds of miles of trails from epic xc to dh. Just dont try and make a decent living there....becuase it wont happen.
But if you are there for college its great for riding.
