Hey everyone,
Sometime this November or December I am going to be hosting a muni
weekend up here in northern VA. I have a few of the details worked out,
but it's pretty loose right now so I need to know a few things from
whoever is going to try and make it. Right now it looks like this:
*Friday afternoon*- natural trials at Difficult Run. This is a creek
(or a run?) that runs alongside Difficult Run trail. It's part of Great
Falls park. Even though this is a trail, don't be fooled. Here you can
find some of the best natural trials spots in NoVa. There is stuff that
beginers would find easy to stuff someone like Ryan Atkins would find
hard. http://tinyurl.com/2d4wtp
*Saturday*- Muni at Fountainhead Regional Park. Fountainhead park has a
dedicated mountain bike trail. It's full loop is something like 10
miles, but there are tons of shortcuts and such that can be taken. Some
super-tech sections, lots of very steep uphill, short steep downhills,
full of roots and rocks. It can be a really exhausting trail, so come
with lots of water (although maybe thats because last time I did
fountainhead it was close to 100 degrees out). [image:

If there is anyone still around on Sunday and still can/want to ride
then we can do anything from cruising around DC to natural at Chain
Bridge to an XC ride at Great Falls.
So the only problem with doing Friday at Difficult Run and Saturday at
Fountainhead is that they are roughly 50 minutes apart. You could work
out a way to sleep halfway inbetween the two or something. If at all
possible, these two spots are for sure worth the drive.
Dates-
If possible I would like to do this the weekend after thanksgiving. If
that doesn't work with you guys, then pick from these dates: November
16-18, 23-25 (Thanksgiving weekend), nov. 30-dec. 2, Dec. 7-9, 14-16.
Hope to see all you Richmond guys there, and whoever else can make it
(maybe Philly area?).
Max
PS. Closer to the date I will be posting directions to difficult run
and fountainhead.
