We've heard numerous reports of high rattlesnake activity in the Frederick Watershed. The shot above was taken of a den very close to one of the XC trails. Be aware that they're out there and leave 'em alone!

Good luck to all the riders heading out to Seven Springs this weekend, looks like a killer course. In the area, check out the 7springs.com website for more info.

Congrats to rideDC regular and local rider Casey Stein (ReVolVeRage)for winning MacNeil's "You're A Man Now" Contest. Casey will receive a trip to Ottawa to celebrate his 18th birthday with the canucks as well as some great schwag I imagine. Check out the mini-interview and contest page here

As you've obviously noticed, rideDC is back online. And there have been some changes. We haven't been able to tweak things as much as we wanted, but the main priority was getting back online. The main change you'll see is the registration & login are now only located in the forum. Login to the forums with your usual username & password. Please contact us if you experience any issues.

We will be continuing to update the site to help you get what you need out of your e-biking experience. Be safe out there!

From the Massanutten Staff: " Important! Lodging at the resort is VERY limited this year. Please make your arrangements as soon as possible. Remember to mention the Yee-Ha! for a special rate. Otherwise, primitive camping will be available again this year on the slopes near the finish line. See ya at the race!
