Dear,
I would be staying in Charlottsville from February to April 2009 because of a research stay at the Department of Religious Studies during that time. In the meanwhile, I would try to do some training, though. Hency my question: do you think it is possible to rent a race-bike over there for that period? And if so, is the weather in February good enough to do some riding already?
I would also be pleased if you could infomr me on the terrain over there. Is is it just hilly or can one climb some rela mountains over there?
with best wishes, and hope to hear from you soon,
Joeri Schrijvers.
UVA Cycling,
My name is Hunter Leemon and I am a student at VCU. I was hopeful to get in contact with someone from your club about some general information.
Can someone contact me directly via e-mail (hunterleemon@yahoo.com).
Thanks so much,
