aww hell yes, my favorite kind of thread...richmond pride hahahaha
for as much abuse as this city gets from its residents and its past inhabitants, its not too bad...rent is cheap, pbr is in every bar, there's some nice hills to crush your self esteem, and let's not forget how much fun it is to bomb the main street hill heading east towards downtown...that s turn at 9th or 10th and main (where main ends and meets the capital building) is still my favorite place to ride.

but yes avail is still alive and kicking, they just left for tour today with Jericho for a 10 day stint, i'm not sure if they continue after those 10 days or not. Picked up a copy of "front porch stories" last week and its amazing, i still love these guys after all this time.
