Northern Virginia Roll Call

Yea, if I had my way, we would. But my wife feels strongly about it... she is the one that physically gets up to nurse (since my nips are useless )

So I gave up trying to convince her otherwise. Haha

 

If they made the speed limit 55 like normal people, this would happen less!

Jk, but for real. 45 is too slow for that road.

 

Nah. We won’t say anything. Lmao.

 

If she's nursing having the kid in the bedroom is a definite. I wouldn't argue that.

 

I've seen some pics apparently its a winch fest and a skating rink. I am sure @EatSleepTacos will be posting some up once he gets back.

 

It went from being fun to use recovery gear to let's just get safely off this mountain. A few of us went sideways, I went full 180, it was a day.

 

Glad you made it home safe.

 

Randy just told us a little bit about the adventure glad you and him are safe. Sounds like ya'll needed some studded tires or chains up there on the mtn today.

 

Welcome man!

 

Went with the REI Co-op 2.1 drt ($500 off)but i have already had several issues with the components and their setup from the store so i might return and get a santa cruz hard tail or full suspension. I dont do alot of jumps and crazy stuff anymore and will likely break more shit if i do. But i like to hit the flowy stuff with smaller jumps and drops. Definitely funner cardio and legs then just running and easier on my knees, back and hips.

 

I bet that was nice man......see you in 2 weeks when you resurface lol!

 

Hows that sleep going?

That road is shitty slow....They just set it that speed as a trap....between Fairfax County and Fort Belvoir Police, its a gold mine.

 

Yeah man it has been a while, gonna ease back into it. definitely lots more to ride there. I think meadowood or laurel hill is more my speed until i get my legs back under me. LOL my daughter actually picked out the avatar cus she loves cats, space and lasers lmao!

 

Good until it thawed out around noon and then got sloppy. Dude i know im so out of riding shape. Let me know if you wanna go man.

 

What kind of issues are you having? Can’t go wrong with a Santa Cruz though

I’m down to go some time, pretty much whenever haha

 

So bad.

You know this. Haha

 

Thanks for the welcomes. I am in Alexandria. Just got home from the flagpole trip. First time going and I definitely under estimated the trail, didnt even air down till halfway through it. Super sketchy times, but it was fun and there were no major breakdowns or accidents.

 

You gotta come ride reston w/ me, its a step up from laurel hill and a step down from fountainhead. Fairly fast flowy trails.

 

Yeah, if you're having trouble with components or just not fitting, you'll be better off returning it and getting something that you for better and feel better on. It'll make you want to ride more.
And Santa Cruz is pretty good way to go!

 

We needed a lot more than that. By far the toughest day of wheeling I've had. Definitely have a new respect for ice. Several of us slid backwards down hills with a drop off on one side and a rock wall on the other. Not one I want to repeat ever.
