Richmond. First time I ever looked here today.

Colonial Heights, south of Richmond and just north of Petersburg. Trek 412 (1982 vintage). This is my first post.

Falls Church
Often ride in DC and Maryland as well as Virginia, so I check on two regional forums.

Newport News here.

Lived and rode in The Newport News area for years. Contes was my LBS. They treated me fantastically. Commmuted from near the shipyard to Langley AFB every day that I could. Then I retired and moved to Illinois. There are some very good riding areas on and near the Pennisula!

Washington, DC. Do I count?

Va. Beach here ;)

Norfolk.

Richmond area. Ditto on the first time check-in. Also, still down with a broken wrist for a couple more weeks.

Deranged Few M/C

Traveled from the Panhandle of Florida to the New river "Rails to Trails" a couple of weeks ago. If you get a chance to ride that trail, do it. It runs about 59 miles from Galax to Pulaski Va. along the river. Beautiful view with water falls along the way, clean camping sites and facilities. We are heading back next year. BUT,
we gotta get in a little better shape. We only got 10 miles out and back.

Richmond. Never bothered to look here before, just got to wandering...

Richmond also. First time through the regional forums.

Yeah. The DC area has a lot of members on BikeForums, but we're split into two regions.
Confusing. Norther Virgina events seem to be getting short changed.

Clifton, VA

Washington, DC. Do I count?

You count twice! Charlottesville here.

Charlottesville here.
Welcome back. Been a while.

Do you know of any good road routes in the Virginia Beach area? I am going to be in town for a wedding next weekend and am looking for about a 30-50 mile ride. Thanks

I would check with the Fat Frogs Bike Shop, they have daily rides from their shop in Virginia Beach. Their website is www.fatfrogsbikes.com.

Herndon, VA here - commute 1Xa week to Ballston, 1-2X rides out the W&OD. Just moving from a hybrid bike to a real road bike.

Smithfield, VA

Springfield

Blacksburg

Va Beach

I don't live in Virginia anymore but grew up in SW Virginia near Blacksburg. Later I lived in Charlottesville while I was in school and worked in several of the bike shops; Fleur De Lis, Blue Wheel, and GoPal. I visited Charlottesville this past June and wanted to visit the folks at Blue Wheel but they were in transit from moving from Elliewood to their new downtown location.

Although I haven't lived there in 20 years it still seems very much like home to me.

I was from Blacksburg but move here to Germany 5 years ago. Anyone bike along the Huckleberry trail there? How's that progressing? It had been proposed to extend it to Christiansburg. Another "Rails to Trails" success story.

Woodbridge area.

I dunno about lettin' the D.C. folks in here, them bein' Yankees 'n' all. ;)

Newport News in the house!

I saw your routes in routeslip. I'm very familiar with those areas. Check out the routes I rode when we lived there.

Richmond

Richmond area, too.

Northern Springfield. I ride DC too.
Pensacola, FL : when I'm at school.

Alexandria (the North Old Towne variety)

I was from Blacksburg but move here to Germany 5 years ago. Anyone bike along the Huckleberry trail there? How's that progressing? It had been proposed to extend it to Christiansburg. Another "Rails to Trails" success story.

It runs from the Blacksburg library to the Christiansburg mall right now. I have heard that it is being extended to run to the start of the old farm mountain bike trail, making the mountain bikers happy.

Herndon. I commute usually 2x week (try for year-around) and do a lot of riding on the W&OD (go figure), and the Reston Bike Club weeknight rides April-October.
