Haymarket Bicycles Shop Message Board

I ride both skinny tires and fat tires. Aside from MORE and the Haymarket Wednesday night ride, what other activities/groups are in the area?

I did this ride last year (100 mile) it was somwhat hilly but beautiful countryside

If you haven't had a fitting done by Jared, you owe it to yourself to do so. Both comfort and speed improved on the first ride after his recommended changes.

If you get a chance watch the A&E episode of Intervention tonight. It chronicles the rise and fall of a former professional road racer. It all starts at 9:00pm. It should be interesting. curtis

To all:
We will have our very own Haymarket Racing teams New York event live tomorrow televised in the shop starting at 4:00pm. Please come and cheer our local BAMF's against the likes of some stiff competition (you may have heard of a guy named Tyler Hamilton) on a national stage. Beverages provided. Bring anything else you may desire. We will remain at the shop until the race ends.

an old ex racer type is looking for riders interested in riding local to the Woodbridge, Manassas area using fixed gear bikes..
Maybe to form a club or just to ride for fitness.

On Thursday, April 17th, we will be doing a short ride in Front Royal from the new shop. The local paper is doing a story on the local trails and bike riding in general. This is a great chance to check out the new venue, get a ride in, and help the cycling community.

Leaving from Front Royal Bicycles at 6pm, 4/17/08

The Warrenton Club (no Warrenton shop affiliation) rides are off and going again for the season. These are slower rides averaging 20mph, or less depending on the turnout, and leaving form the Warrenton Green Branch trailhead at 1800 hrs (will move to 1830 hrs later in the spring). The rides are 30 miles through rolling countryside with no hard climbs and have a more casual atmosphere. Anyone is welcome to show up and no one will be dropped. We look forward to meeting some new people this season!

The Wednesday shop ride is back. We are leaving at 5:30 while light dictates. Two groups will be rolling out. There is a 'no-drop' B ride and a more competitive 'A' ride. Hope to see you there.
