Well, rte. 29 runs through C'ville, so there are some shopping centers along the road and things like that. I think very highly of the actual downtown area, though. The downtown mall with lots of shops and food places is a cool area to visit. The UVA campus is really pretty and has a lot of history associated with it.

Best of all, you can ride out of C'ville over to Afton Mountain and on from there to and along the Blue Ridge Parkway and other great roads in the Blue Ridge. Good climbs and great scenery. If you want more information on the roads to use out of there, PM me and I'll get it to you.

Also, I'm sure that the Georgetown folks would let you ride with them, although you're correct that you couldn't race unless you were enrolled as a full-time student. That's where I went to school, and the more people representing the team the better, at least in my opinion. UNC, where I now work, is happy to have anyone affiliated with the university ride with them- students, faculty, staff, alums, etc.- so I'd imagine that as a close relation to someone affiliated, most folks would be fine with that.

Dude if you're looking for local teams we are putting together a wicked 3 squad at zaytoun-miller... there are 5 of us so far. not to talk smack about franklin street but you should definitely consider joining this one.

truckin

Oh, sure, Q- try to steal the talent 9 months in advance. Uncool

Snuff, isn't it nice to feel wanted?

Frunkin

Looks like we'll be racing together this summer. Do you guys have a big 4/5 team?

ilpirata87

haha just trying to get my foot in the door...
by the way i think i spotted you on cameron ave as i rode in to class this morning.

Snuffleupagus

I'm flattered

Hopefully the upcoming surgeries don't leave me an invalid so I can actually be worthwhile in a race!

Do you Wisco dudes happen to know if Gear Grinders (formerly PCW) have any Cat1/2 boys besides the White brothers? Our team merged with them this winter...

truckin

Yep, that would have been me. I got out for a spin at lunch too. The weather since Sunday has been phenomenal.

Crash716

I am with a Cat 3/4/5 team out of Socal...

Jersey and bibs below...see ya'll Socalers out there...

ps..The wife and i Designed the jerseys for the team...what do you guys think

DrWJODonnell

Let me know which ones. I will make it a point to get up stupidly early just to say hi.

Speedster22

Not real sure what anyone else's intentions are as of yet. I joined the team in July and was doing the team rides, but there weren't many people at all. Just a handful of us until about October. I haven't been able to make the indoor sessions lately due to work and I'm just getting back into the groove of things again now. Not totally sure, but I think I'll be team shopping pretty soon.

Duke - Not sure about Gear Grinders. Sorry bro.

Frunkin

No idea, I thought they were mostly a MTB team.

botto 

late.

just found out that the team i was registered with in the US has more of less folded. not a huge surprise, considering that the sponsoring shop went bust over the summer. kind of a bummer.

so... if i want to keep my uscf license going, it's either go unattached, or look for a new team, that doesn't mind having a teammate that lives/races primarily in NL.

anyone looking for a teammate who possesses the unique ability of being able to tell people that they're correct or incorrect?

DrWJODonnell

Westwood would be happy to pick up a Botto, but methinks he would not go for the team kit stylings. However, should he want to, The Botto is Welcome.

ironically, i'm in the midst of joining a dutch club, and i'm letting aesthetics get in the way of logic.

while i know plenty of folk on one club, i'm not enamored with their kit (even if it's for a good cause).



i'll most likely join another club, and be a virtually anonymous member.

the two reasons i'm going for the other club is 1. the kits are marginally better, and 2. a friend is joining, and we can have some fun/work some tactics together.

I am riding unattached. Doesn't make sense to join a team when I am leaving the area March 24. And then will be in a different area afterwards. Too much of an investment for team kit etc.

NoRacer

Hey! What happened to you Saturday? I thought you were going to come out for a long training ride?

calhoun1

Never got in touch with Crista. So I found a different ride

NoRacer

It was a good ride. A little hillier than I anticipated, but not bad. A little chilly--especially getting restarted after lunch.

calhoun1

I plan on trying to make some DCRand rides in the coming month or so, just gotta plan more than 1 day in advance.

merckx89

Well i am moving from the juniors team to our mens 5 team. So new team members, though no new team.
