RatherB... Sorry I have not been over there... Can't say too much about the area.
My riding exploits have been severely curtailed the past couple of years. I have been dealing with a badly botched knee operation and have been in and out of the hospital a grand total of 5 or 6 times with complications. Also had a couple of heart scares, and a stent and balloon procedure done, so riding hasn't been on the agenda for quite a while.
I have a brand new 03 Rubicon just calling my name... with less than 30 miles on it... and am really itching to get back on and ride though. I just had my most recent surgery removing all the hardware 5 weeks ago.. and the healing is going well. I actually had the surgical wound close this time which it hadn't done for over 2 and a half years. I also am on IV therapy for another 2 weeks for an associated deep bone infection.... and that is doing well too... So yeah, maybe later this summer, I'll try and hook up...

The cove is right outside of Winchester in Gore. Check out http://www.motocove.com for info. We went there today and it is nice but pretty technical with huge rocks. We did a 10 mile loop. They have a 20 mile loop as well and a few other small ones. I'd love to find some smooth trails where you can really open them up.

Hello to all.
Vak we gotta plan another ride I'm getting way to anxious.
I still want to blow your mind and take you up to Samokin, its only 3 hrs out of Fairfax. I'd rather go for several days but its doable in a day ride if we hit the road early. No Taskers Gap, MotoCove, Green Ridge, or Buds Creek has got anything close to this spot. Even the local Paragon or Tower City or Raush Creek hasn't got the thrilling 100 to 200 foot hill climes. When you first come up on it, your heart will sink just like going down a roller coaster for the first time. After watching everyone else you'll start building up confidence and its all a rush from there on.
Its got jumps as high as you dare and ponds and a wide asortment of mud holes. Its got wide flat connecting trails you can open it up too. The only thing you can expect not to find is the abusive tier eating hard rock. Its got lots of cool places to check out too. I would't hesitate one minute even for a one day ride and late evening return. Even beginers will have more fun than our local spots and their skills would triple faster. Expert riders are going to have a blast.
Since my buddy Vak is tied down to Sundays it would be a Sunday rain is even better. I think he said this SUNDAY SEPT. 11 is good so this Sunday it is. Bring your cameras. Also something to make a scarf for the dust and goggles are a must.

I'll be posting a rendevous point and time.
