  1. Hey,

    As some of you know a little weekend of riding in Richmond, VA has been
    in the works for while.

    The weekend will mostly be trials and muni riding, but even if you are
    into other stuff you should consider coming. You can come both days of
    the event, or pick just one day if you have to.

    Because of my schedule, it will be held on a Saturday and Sunday. For
    all the spots mentioned below you can see where they are and how to get
    to them on 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/ys9wkx) map.
    Saturday-
    Around 10:00am we will meet out on the rocks of Belle Isle
    for natural trials. Riding can be found for all skill levels. It's a
    really fun place to ride. Around 12:30pm (or whenever we get hungry) we
    will head into town for lunch. After lunch, we will go either to
    Buttermilk trail, or Belle Isle if we are up for it for muni. We will
    muni until we feel like stopping.

    Sunday-
    Around 10:00am we will meet at whatever trail we didn't do
    on Saturday. If we end up doing Belle Ilse trails on Sunday we meet at
    the parking lot next to the footbridge to Belle (called Belle Ilse
    Parking Lot on the map). If we do Buttermilk then we will meet at the
    Buttermilk parking lot (called Buttermilk Trail Parking Lot on the
    map). After muni we can go into town or something to find lunch. For
    anyone that doesn't need to leave to get back home after this we can do
    either street/urban trials near Kanawha Plaza, or more natural on the
    rocks.

    Possible Dates- April 19th and 20th, 2008
    May 24th and 25th, 2008
    May 31st and June 1st, 2008

    Post if you are interested in coming, and what dates you would prefer.
    I will try to set the date so that the most people can make it.

    -Max

    P.S. It's still far off, but I'd like to mention that a NATS bike
    trials event will be held on June 14th, 2008 on the rocks of Belle
    Ilse. I went last year it was awesome. Whoever comes to this we may do
    a muni ride afterwards, like last year. http://tinyurl.com/22cjfd

  2. Max,

    I am not sure about my schedule but I know April 19th is no good for me
    b/c of the 13 hour mountain bike race I am doing in Leesburg on my
    29er.

    One of the May dates could work for me, but that is getting closer to
    Ride The Lobster, so I might not be able to make it since I will be
    concentrating on my road speed.

    Yeah, as I was typing I forgot that you have the race on the 19th, and
    there is a ride in Fredricksburg on that day that I will hopefully be
    at.

    APRIL 19TH AND 20TH IS NO LONGER A POSSIBLE DATE.

    As for the dates being close to RTL, I would understand if you would
    rather spend that time training. You could possibly do one day in
    Richmond and train the other? It's up to you. If you do come at least
    on day, come to the day we do Buttermilk, it's very cokerable,
    especially after seeing you do fountainhead on coker.

  4. I just may be able to make one of the May weekends.

    Kind of depends on whether I can afford to travel all the way from PA
    to Richmond, but I love Belle Isle. Since I first went there, I've been
    thinking it would be awesome for a lil muni.

    Not sure if I would use my 24" or new 29", though.

    I don't think I'll know for sure until I get home in early May and
    figure out my job situation for the summer, but I'd definitely like to
    come.

  5. Either of the May dates will work for me. My vote is for the 24-25, as
    it's close to my birthday. We could also put it off a few more weeks
    to have in conjunction with the trials comp.

  6. I'm kinda leaning towards the 24-25, and having the trials comp as a
    seperate event. That way for anyone going to the comp this can be kind
    of a warm up and for newcomers to the comp, it will be a way to see
    what kind of riding to expect.

  7. Ok, date is set for May 24 and 25.

    To make it a full weekend, I'll need a few more riders to say they're
    coming. Once I know that we'll at least have a small group I'll
    announce some more final plans as for what rides we'll do.

    *SPREAD THE WORD*, and post if you're coming.

    Anyone else? I know there are a couple riders in Fredricksburg, one in
    C-ville, and some in NC. Be great to see a few new faces.
