Any fellow fat tire'ers? It's warmin up out there.. I know I'm tryin to start my 15 mile ride a night thingy on the W&OD again.. but that's no fun.. need some trail fun!

So.. a) are there any other Mountain Biker's in the area.. and b) anyone know of good places to ride?

and of course c) Anyone wanna go for a ride on the weekend sometime?

 

I'm up for riding any time. There's a trail in Reston that I like which goes all the way to Great Falls. You can get a 30 mile ride out of it if you're so inclined. I usually go from about 15-20 offroad.

I won't be home until the 16th, and start working on the 17th. But even if I'm working, I'll go riding at night. And if you need your bike worked on, or any parts and stuff, come see me at work. I work at A-1 Cycling in Herndon

 

i started riding last year. only been a few times but i wanna go some more this year. only problem is dont have a way to take the bike anywhere since i sold my truck and theres no way in hell im putting a carrier on my TA.
oh - im in the woodbridge area... ive been to burke lake and the one off braddock road (forgot the name of it at the moment) but thats it.

 

Wakefield Park the one that you're thinking of? There's a race series there that takes place on Wed nights at some point during the summer. I did a couple of them last year.

 

Excellet -- may have to meet you as I need a new set of tires for my POS. I might take you up on that 30 mile ride sometime.. but first gotta get rid of my winter pounds if you know what i mean.

 

i wish i still had my bike, it got stolen from my backyard, right in my face. that bastard!!!!

burke lake park is a nice place to ride.

 

that sucks...

Burke lake is very nice... I've walked around the entire lake (not on purpose though), very beautiful.

 

I'm trying to get into riding more... Bought a bke at the end of last fall, and it stayed parked most of the winter... I'm back out on it though...

You guys should try out Fountainhead Park in Lorton. It's a very nice, well maintained trail. Has nice singletrack riding, and a cool downhill part near the end. It's off 123 just past the Lorton prison coming from woodbridge, I think there's directions on mtbr.com

Also, if you wanna drive a bit more, Hollywood Farms in Fredericksburg is a cool trail tool. Lots of tight singletrack, it's on a farm off rt 3 down there

 

Yeah, I've ridden at Fountain Head. Only problem with is that it's so far from my house I have to get back out there at some point though. Very nice trail.
