I tried to capture as much of the spirit of the race as I could. Here’s a taste…

Here’s the map for this Sunday’s ride I mentioned in my email.

“What a beautiful day to race a bike.” I doubt anyone said that yesterday at the Jeff Cup. More power to those who suited up and went to work in such dismal conditions. What a difference 24 hours makes cause the day before was just about perfect.

CRC will once again bring mountain bike racing to Walnut Creek. This year’s event, the 2nd Annual Chimney Chase will be on Sunday May 11th. We’ll be running the same course from last year due to all the great feedback we received. CAMBC, the Charlottesville Area Mountain Bike Club has been hard at work maintaining and sprucing up the trails over the winter to ensure that Walnut Creek Park remains one of the best mountain bike trail systems in Virginia.

Hi all,

I know just sent this out via email but I don’t know if some of the newer members are receiving those messages yet. In any case, check out the thread about the proposed B ride and let me know what you think.

Hi all,

I’m going to start creating some maps and profiles to go with the cue sheets on cvillebike.com. The goal is to create a list of rides to reference and pick from.

If you have any routes you’d like me to map and profile just send me the cue sheet.

Cheers,

Sean

Some of you may have seen this already but if not here goes:

There is a new film about Paris-Roubaix and one of the film makers lives in Orange. It’s been shot by some really stellar photographers and the preview looks great. The directors will be on hand for Q&A as well.

This would be a great compliment to the CRC movie night even though you’d have to pay for it. It looks like they filmed it last year as Big George is sport’n the Stars and Strips. Poor George. Maybe he’ll actually pull it off this year. As much as I’d love for him to do it I don’t think I’ll be put’n any money down.

Hi all,

Couldn’t make the shop ride today so I’m heading out for a moderate gravel/road ride tomorrow morning if anyone’s interested. I think it’s around 25 miles might be more can’t be sure. Ride time was about 1:30.

Stony Point Elementary is on Rt. 20 about 10 miles north of Rt. 250. The ride basically climbs up and over the Southwest mountains twice in a nice loops. Quite roads made for cross bikes.

Drop me a line at seang at virginia.edu or call my mobile if you’re on your way and it’s just past 10:00.
