I was at the WV race and met a couple of the DC crew. I live in Lynchburg and would like to come out for the Nov 1 session. Can someone give me directions and info on what time it starts and ends? Anything special to bring?

Dan Mitchell · Post by **Dan Mitchell** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 8:40 pm

Gary,
It's the Park-n-Ride just off I-270. You can see it from the highway.
From the north I take exit 11, but I think it's exit 10 from the south.
Any locals have something more specific?

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 9:13 pm

Hey Gary,

It was great meeting you in WV.

Coming from Lynchburg, I think you would take 81 to 66 go east to the Beltway 495. Take 495 north to I 270. Go north on 270 to Exit 10. (Clopper rd). Goto 2nd traffic light turn Right onto Quince Orchard Rd. Go to 2nd traffic light and turn right into the P&R lot. We set up in the upper left corner of the lot.

You can always call me if you get lost. The racing on the 1st will get started around 10am. We usually do a single lane longboard slalom race first then a dual traditinal slalom race around noon.

Hope you can make it out.

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 9:13 pm

Dan is correct, I270 N, exit 10 is MD117 (Clopper Rd.) Cloverleaf around new P&R construction (not the P&R where DC Slalom is). Make a right onto MD117, go under I270, 2nd or 3rd Traffic Light is MD124 (Quince Orchard Rd.) Turn right onto MD124 at huge silver office building, go past strip of stores, past Gas Station and Red Roof Inn (all on your right). Turn right at the Traffic light just before I270. You're there!!!

Q

edit: BP, you beat me to it! I'll leave mine, the landmarks should help...

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 9:32 pm

Gary, open this map of Gaithersburg MD. Where you see a triangle formed by Quince Orchard Rd, I-270, and the railroad tracks, that is the Gaithersburg Park & Ride lot (ignore the exit loop that passes through it - it is not there in actuality). The way I usually go is I-66 East to the Beltway(495) towards Rockville, to 270 North. From there, I take exit 10/Clopper Road. Take a right at the 2nd light, onto Quince Orchard Rd and then just beyond the Motel-6 (formerly the Red Roof Inn) and the train trestle is the Park & Ride lot on your right. Perhaps you could take 29 North at Lynchburg and then hit I-66 East at Gainesville. Or, if you want to aviod the Gainesville traffic, you could take 29 North and then 15 to Haymarket and I-66 East.

Gary Saenz - old · Post by **Gary Saenz - old** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 10:01 pm

Thanks for the directions. I'll be there as close to 10 am as I can (it'll be a 3.5-4 hour drive). I'm trying to bring a friend or two. I'm really trying to get some slalom going here in Central VA but I've only been practicing for a couple months now. I'm looking forward to coming up there and learning some things from you guys. I'll be the one in the blue Nissan Sentra with a roofrack and a bunch of boards in the back seat.

If anyone wants to do some "Old School" park riding, it doesn't get any more authentic than Lansdowne.

Check this article, you may recognize a few names in there:
Lansdowne Article and Pics

We should get there around 10 am, come and enjoy.

email jaq(at)his(dot)com if you need directions.

Jack, You're in Gaithersburg, aren't you? Got room for another for that Lansdowne trip? I'm in G-burg too, but my car's on its' last leg. I probably haven't been to Lansdowne in about ten years, but I do love that place.

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 4:45 am

Andy,
I sent an email to the address you've associated with your account here.

Anyone else up for a session at the 'downer? Bozi? Dillon?

Q

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 9:55 pm

Tim is that place called Richard W Jones Park? it looks good. I think there was some talk about practicing at Manassas sometime this weekend. I've got a sick old dog at home so I don't know if I can get out at all. It's always something.

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 10:10 pm

I'll try to make it.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Fri Oct 24, 2003 11:16 pm

“One hundred cone course” would be cool with a timer. Anyone got a timer that we can all use? If so, I’m there.

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 3:09 am

Wes if you come on Sunday could bring that T/S Comet. I think you called it a slimline?

Tim Keasbey · Post by **Tim Keasbey** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 3:16 am

Jeff: Richard W Jones Park?, no this is not in a park, it is in the woods on the side of Pleasant Vally Road.

Wes: I got such few replies (posting at the last minute does that) I was actually thinking about heading up to roll around "the downer" and rescheduling for another time when we can get more people there, though I can change this if more people want to do it and we can come up with a timer. Talk to me people...

I will check this board in the AM before I make a decision and post.

Andy You Out there????

Andy,
I was in/out of my office all day, and didnt find any voicemail.
If you still wanna do the Lansdowne thing tomorrow, call my cell 301-793-9412 or shout back here, or send an email to jaq(at)his(dot)com <-spam filter. We'd be glad to give you a ride.

If you cannot make it that is fine, I'll see you at the P&R Nov 1.

Q

Tim Keasbey · Post by **Tim Keasbey** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 5:43 pm

Going to swing by "Point Pleasant" If no one is there I am head'in for the Downer hope to see you all there.

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Sat Oct 25, 2003 11:19 pm

Andy,
Nice chatting with you last night.

Tim,
Nice to meet you a the 'downer. Sure was fun, and then even funner watching Cabbage show us all how it's done.

See you guys next week at the P&R.

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 6:05 am

Manassas Battlefield on the road that goes through the office park around noon on Sunday.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 6:47 am

I would ride Battlefield. I would also ride Walker. Is Walker a daytime weekend spot? If we ride Battlefield, we should set more cones than what we usually set there. I’ll bring my 18 soccer cones / 60 cheercones. I hope Fountainhead opens for us soon. It looked like it was too windy today to ride most other places.

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 7:08 am

We're riding Manassas.

Hey Brian (or anyone else),
What time do things wrap up?

10 AM Longboard/Giant Slalom
~Noon TS

finishing around ????

(You know how wives have a need to schedule things...)

Jack

(I'm planning on making a significant improvement on my GS time.)

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 9:37 pm

Walker tonight Burke tomorrow what's up?

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 9:54 pm

Jack, we usually finish up around 3-4 pm. The course this weekend will be more of a GS style course so there will not be as much cone popping.

Jeff, wish I could skate walker but I totally tweaked my knee this past weekend skating Asheville skatepark. I am hoping the swelling goes down before Saturday. I was lucky that it is my front knee.

Asheville skatepark is awesome. You just carve and grind until your legs give out. The pool monster just jumped up and bit me. Its all about paying your dues I guess. Anyway...Vlad is going down this weekend.

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Thu Oct 30, 2003 4:41 am

Jeff and others...
If you didn't ride Walker tonight. I'm all for it Thursday night.

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 5:33 am

Hey Mr. Popov. Just got yer message. It's a little late to call you back.
How about Manassas Battlefield around 1ish on Sunday? Anyone else?

Mr. Dillon, I got yer message as well. I didn't get off work until 7:45. Traffic was still backed up on River Road just to get on the Beltway. I wouldn't have made it to Chantilly until close to 9pm. So I went to happy hour in Bethesda.

Jeff Boswell · Post by **Jeff Boswell** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 3:09 pm

Manassas SSSSS at one sounds good. I'll bring my cones. Hopefully by one it'll warm upsome.

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 11:38 pm

Jeff set a nice 49 cone course at SSSSSS Manassas Battlefield, Vandor Lane. Some deer came by to check out the scene.

We were talking about a Walker Lane Session sometime during this week in the evening.

Jack Quarantillo · Post by **Jack Quarantillo** » Mon Nov 10, 2003 6:28 pm

How to get to Lansdowne:

Highway 695 (Baltimore Beltway) to Lansdowne exit. [Hollins Ferry Rd.] take Hollins Ferry road TOWARDS Lansdowne (don't go towards the brewery (Now Washington Foods), there's nothing down there but industrial wasteland), follow it to top of hill and make a right on Bero Rd. After first left (Freeway Rd.) [do not take] look for a small paved path on left, between house on corner and the next row of houses. Park and follow path to skatepark.

They put up a waist-high chain link fence around the perimeter of the park, which the locals promptly altered to regain access from the path.
