I ride a CrossRip to work
Welcome to the area. There are multiple CrossRip folks that hang out on the forum, including me. If you see a guy on the trail with a ton of stickers on a CrossRip, that’s me.
Here’s some things that you should do:
1. Come to one of the coffee clubs and meet some folks. Full list is here: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?7078-Weekly-Coffee-Gatherings&p=159432#post159432
2. Try signing up for Freezing Saddles. You’ll be wait listed at this point, but we have people drop out every year.
3. Come to Freezing Saddles events, anyways, even if you’re not on a team. There’s a calendar of cycling events in general at freezingsaddles.com and folks will post events on the forum as the competition ramps up.
4. Join the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) at waba.org. (waba.org/join is the direct link) – WABA is the primary group in the DC area that advocates for better biking.
