I've been waiting for years for someone to set something up around DC... there's been some talk, but nobody has stepped up. I'm not much of an event planner myself, but if someone wants to take the lead, I can help out. Who's from around here? There was an old school event at NOVA BMX track about 6 years ago and Rob Quinlan tried to get an annual Rockville BMX event going, but those were poorly attended. Hopefully we can get something better going if there is interest.

awesome let me know! im right in manassas va!

I could possibly be down for a meeting, might even be able to talk Joe (bikerdad) into coming also.

lillaRe · 2012-01-10 7:50am

YES! This area needs some events. A swap meet/ride type of thing would be great, but I'll take whatever. I'm so jealous of all those other ride/gathering threads. DC people represent! Let's do this!

ryan71 · 2012-01-10 8:47am

I'm in would be awesome!

ryan71 · 2012-01-10 8:54am

I would help out if a local takes the lead. I go there a couple of times a month. Lots of sites and eats in DC. This past year got voted one of the most bike friendly cities.

lillaRe · 2012-01-10 9:08am

Awesome! I figured you'd be into this.

I am more than willing to help out too. I might even take the lead if nobody else wants to and my buddy is willing to help me out with the planning. He's not on here much, but he came on the Philly Ride with me and he would definitely be into this. He and I actually discussed possibly setting up a DC ride not that long ago, so I'll talk to him about it some more.

Cool man sounds great. If enough people seem interested anyone who's up for helping could meetup for some beers and plan it out keep in touch.

Well I live in Columbia md I have a ton of skate parks near me.....and I work in Rockville so let me know I'm down to ride..... But I don't cruse around I hit the parks

lillaRe · 2012-01-10 11:37am

Getting together to plan things out sounds like a good idea to me. Hopefully there will be enough interest.

I'm old and slow, but I like to shoot pics and video, so whatever we decide to do, I'm game.

bump for the evening crowd.

tjthemaxx · 2012-01-10 5:31pm

Sounds good to me.

nightsblood · 2012-01-16 6:04am

Fredericksburg, va here. A couple of us here would be interested.

freedo · 2012-01-16 6:14am

us_boss2 · 2012-01-16 6:54am

So are we going to make this happen?

Definitely. It seems there are enough people interested and I'm sure more will come out of the woodwork once they see plans being made. If Jon and others from up North are going to make the trip, this could turn out to be one heck of a good time. Let's do it!

Should we start kicking around ideas? Meet location? Ride route? Date?

mongoosefreak · 2012-01-16 8:19am

I am interested and down for the ride..

Capn_Crunch · 2012-01-16 8:27am

B&A trail is an old rail line from Baltimore to Annapolis. It's flat and passes past a freestyle park, BMX track and one of the last shops that deals heavily with BMX in the area. It'd be a cool ride with some sweet stop overs. I could help work this out.

ryan71 · 2012-01-16 8:38am

Cool to see so many people down for a DC ride. Now all we need is some spring time weather.
