moved from richmond to md/newbie
Hello all you fine lookin people. I'm Allie. I just moved from Richmond, VA back to Silver Spring, MD, where I am originally from. I'm not familiar at all with the bike scene, in particular fixed and track, since I got into fixed gear while I was living in Richmond.
I'm sure you folks exist and I'd like to meet up at an event once the weather gets not so ****ing ridiculous.

You can check in on the mailing list in my sig., although it's been pretty quiet lately.

Several pirates live up in them Merlind areas. You'll find yourself among friendly folk.
There's polo tomorrow night, and rides like once or twice a week. We don't give a **** about the weather. And we like new people.

ive often contemplated moving to richmond but i dont think i would ever get anything done there. that town is all about hanging out.

be glad that your one of the rare few to escaped richmond. i love the people, and the bike scene but after moving somewhere else i realized how bad my home town is. richmond great place to visit (best in the summer) but nothing ever changes, and no one ever leaves.
