I pedal in my sleep...
Not as much as I like, but mainly because of early darkness and a toddler. It did get hatefully cold this week though.

From Norfolk. I ride a Flevo Racer Recumbent to work some times. I've even rode in this cold weather. My water bottle filled up with ice.

Our team is based in Lexington, Virginia. We have about 20 members in town and others in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. We train in the Shenandoah Valley and welcome local riders and visitors to join us. The weather is cold right now, but we ride whenever the weather permits. We race all over the east coast and we're easy to spot in our zebra print kits.

Another one from Richmond! I go to VCU and have been riding a GT Aggressor 1.0 that I've had for a while but most of the components are shot so I haven't ridden in the past few weeks; but my IRO frame set should be here tomorrow!

I'm sure this has been asked before, so apologies in advance.
I run the VA Beach Marathon on March 20 and plan to add three days of riding before heading back to NYC.
We don't want to stay at the coast because it's just flat. Looking at the map, the area North of Richmond/Charlottsville looks nice. We plan to ride about 80 miles a day and would love to hear anyone's suggestions for routes.
Thanks!!

Harrisonburg, VA Kinda, I live about 2 miles outside the city limits up and down several annoying hills that I have yet to be able to bike up (doesn't help that the gears weren't set correctly to start with, got the back ones right but not the front)
I bike about 3 miles one way to work 1-3 times a week on a Schwin Avenue Ladies that was bought at (don't hurt me please) Wal*Mart.
