The weather is just too nice to not be biking. If that still holds true until Friday, I propose that we head out at 3 to Walnut Creek. We’ll start out with beginner trails and see what everyone is up for, we won’t do anything that anyone doens’t feel comfortable with. No experience is necessary, just a desire to learn. …

Lets celebrate the spring daylight savings time change by pedaling the winter cobwebs out of our legs and lungs on the Ohill trails after work/class. Ohill has an excellent network of single track trails and is right in our backyard. We’ll meet at Echols, assign bikes/helmets, then pedal up to the trailhead and begin our ride. The pace will be …

The plan is to go mountain biking up at Sherando Lake. It’s a pretty epic trail, yo. The ride is comprised of a 21 mile loop with a couple thousand feet of elevation gain, a killer switchback section, and awesome views. You should only sign up if you’ve done some trail riding in the past, and are the type of …

Douthat State Park has some of the finest single track in VA (a few years ago it was mentioned in Blue Ridge Outdoors as one of the top 3 mountain bike destinations in VA!). There are plenty of tough, technical climbs up to fantastic views, followed by a ridge-line roller coasters and endless down hills. We’ll decide on which trails …

Do you think that David Clark’s trip sounds awesome, but not quite ready for 21 miles? Then join this trip and start practicing up. This trip is designed for people who are comfortable riding on cross country trails in various conditions for about an hour and a half to two hours. We’ll start off with a warm up loop and …

This ride is one of my favorites in VA and is considered one of the best climbs in the state, and because it’s a loop it also has an excellent down hill section. This 21 mile loop starts on FS road 42 at 1,595′ elevation, and takes you up to the top of Bald Mountain (3,587′) via a mile long …

Walnut creek has a variety of trails for all skill levels so no experience is necessary other than knowing how to ride a bike. We will ride the entry level trails to get a feel for what everyone is comfortable with and go from there. The club has 5 front suspension bikes that can be checked out as well as …

The weather is just to perfect to not be biking and what better way to start off (or continue) your weekend? We will be back by 5:30, so if you have plans that evening, you’ll make them. The club has six sweet hardtail bikes (front suspension) ranging from small to large. We will start off with the basics, all you …

This will be a short workshop on the basics of repairing and adjusting a mountain bike. We’ll go over things like how to: -fix a flat tire -repair a broken chain -check/adjust loose parts -clean and lube the moving parts ***If you attend this workshop, you agree to help tune up some of the club bikes 🙂 – we’ll also …

Walnut Creek has a great variety of trails, so we’ll start off easy and see how experienced everyone in the group is. No experience is necessary, you just have to know how to ride a bike and be willing to try something new. We will not ride anything that anyone does not feel comfortable with. More advanced riders are welcome …

I definitely can’t think of any better reason not to do schoolwork than to go mountainbiking. Saturday is supposed to be beautiful and I know I’ll be ready for a break by then, so I propose that we head down to our local cycling haven at Walnut Creek and explore their trails for a few hours. As always everyone who …

Want to go on Dave’s ride around the Rivanna Trail but can’t? Then we’re in the same boat! Let’s get as far as we can around the 20 mile loop next Tuesday in celebration of the last day of classes. We’ll meet at Echols and hit the trail. If we come to the general consensus to end early, we’ll head …

We’ll wake up Sunday and cover as much of the perimeter of the park as possible. Some of the terrain is fairly difficult, but if you’ve had any rinding experience, you should be more than fine. Trip may expand if more drivers sign up. Come enjoy the park while it’s still free! The Club provides the bikes and helmets. You …

I want to do a local ride tomorrow and need a change from OHill and WCP. The Rivanna trail is just the ticket (though some of its trails are continuous with OHill trails). The terrain is mostly gentle rolling hills (aka “flat”), but the distance is long (20-25 miles). I’d like to ride from around 4:30-7:00-ish, and don’t really care …

Walnut Creek has some nice trails of all levels and is very close. No mountain biking experience necessary; only that you know how to ride a bike. The club has 5 mountain bikes and helmets available, so you do not need to have your own. The current trip size is set to 3 because that is how many bikes I …

Bob’s trip on Thursday seems good and full, so we should have another celebration on Wednesday. Same deal- no experience is necessary, (other than knowing how to ride a bike). We’ll do a quick warm up to work out the kinks and gauge everyone’s abilities and then well go ride trails at the level that everyone is comfortable with – …

As classes are winding down, I think we should celebrate by going mountain biking at Walnut Creek. No experience is necessary, (other than knowing how to ride a bike). We’ll do a quick warm up to gauge everyone’s abilities and then go ride trails at the level that everyone is comfortable with – we will not ride anything that anyone …

Since this past Saturday’s trip was so much fun, I’m going to try again for this weekend. The weather looks a little dicey, so I may have to cancel due to rain (if the trails are too wet we won’t ride even if it’s sunny). We will begin with some basic techniques and then try some entry level trails. After …

Walnut Creek has tons of trails for all skill levels, so even if you haven’t been before, feel free to sign up. The club has five sweet front suspension bikes for you to choose from and I can transport three people with bikes, so that’ll be the initial size of the trip. Once more more drivers sign up, we can …

Walnut Creek has trails for all skill levels, so no experience necessary for this trip. If you are advanced and want to do your own thing, that can definitely be arranged. The club has 5 nice front suspension bikes you can use. My car can transport 3 bikes, so that’s what I’ll initially set the trip size to. When more …

Walnut Creek Park has an excellent network of trails ranging from easy terrain to absurdly challenging. We’ll spend most of our time (1-2 hours) shaking the winter cobwebs out of our leg muscles on the easy terrain, but if you are an experienced rider and want to do your own thing, we can make that happen by coordinating a meeting …

Lets have a late celebration of the early time change this year by having an after work (for me) or after class (most likely for you) trail ride at Walnut Creek Park. WCP has an excellent network of trails ranging from easy terrain to absurdly challenging. We’ll spend most of our time (1-2 hours) shaking the winter cobwebs out of …

If you ever use the trails at Walnut Creek Park or plan on using them, you should give back to them. Building new trails and working on existing ones is a great way to appreciate the places you ride as well as acquire/build trail making experience. This, along with every monthly (typically the first Saturday of each month), work day …
