We will not be riding Buttermilk, I can't even imagine trying to pedal the SGS around there.
Probably tredegar wall, stairs/drops, police station wall ride, etc. almost all concrete. It'll be too dark for any of the trails.

well i didnt realize until after the fact that the shock was wayyyy low on air pressure so that had a huge negative effect im sure. it also would've been much easier with clips vs platforms...
but yeah the fuel would've been much more-er funner
the wall ride is an f'ing blast and the kicker is that it is RIGHT next to the poe-lease station.
do y'all have any sort of route or is it just a free flowing dealio?

No route just ride whatever the majority wants to. Right now it sounds like there will be about 5-7 people.
As with all urban riding don't hang in a spot too long and keep moving. There's lot's to hit in the city, no lights required.

i might be able to make it up, but not sure if i'd make 630 arrival...coming from surry. can i get digits from someone for a rendezvous (sp?!?!?)
edit

Look up 490 Tredegar St. Richmond, 23219
That location is close, we'll actually be parking along 5th street on the hill down to where 5th and Tredegar meet. Look for riders in the grass behind the fence.

School work has me BURIED! 
It's going to definitely 5 and possibly 7, not including you or your friends. The two times I've gone we've stayed out until around 9:30-10.
Lame excuse! You don't even work.....study now, play later tonight! JEEZSchool work has me BURIED!
One word.....
Finals.
Finals.
how twas the ride?
It was short but sweet.
We better get out to hit the "Wall" as much as we can while we can. The Feds are going to take over the flat in front of it for parking while they build their parking deck across the street.
Mike
cluster meets fvck...that should have been the title of our trip from surry up to meet y'all. first we hit traffic, then we missed a turn. i think we actually saw y'all sessioning the wall, but by the time we got over to the parking lot past the museum, unloaded, and rode over you were gone. i didnt have any digits and had NO clue where y'all were going so we just rode around aimlessly trying to find the police wall ride. i couldn't believe how many people we asked, "where is the police station"
SIXTH AND CANAL will be burned into my memory for fvcking ever. we rode around and around and around looking for that because we figured that would be part of the regular route. having said that, the next time we come up some digits would be nice so we can call y'all.
the feds are gonna take it permanent like or just for a decade or so while the twadle with the deck?

Sorry you missed us. Yeah, we'll have to work on communications.
As far as I know it will be temporary. I don't know how close to the wall they'll get either. Since it's an historic structure perhaps they'll give it wide berth.

damn Dart, that sucks! I've been wondering what the heck they were building that large lot there for!
ridetoofast, sucks you missed the crew, they are a fun bunch
