I’ve had a litespeed mtn bike for ten years and dont think I will ever sell it. I had to make the tough choice between my full suspended GT and kept the hardtail.

The best part of titanium is that it rides like a steel frame but weighs significantly less. If you are looking for a solid bike that will last for years and don’t like the high prices of carbon fiber, this can be a good compromise.

My road bikes are carbon fiber and aluminum.

I have to second Carolina BBQ. It’s halfway out/home to Purcellville. Purcellville has some decent restaurants near Trails End. Magnolias is great but a little to fancy for bike shorts.

I strongly suggest that you stop at Loudoun County High School and take Dry Mill Rd to Irene and then Colonial Hwy (old Rt 7). That is a taste of riding in Loudoun Cty. Very few know the great roads and lack of traffic. The W&OD is too dangerous for 20+ mph.

Thanks for coming out to see us.
