Crozet's community blog
The Crozet Cycling Club has been pretty successful so far.
Now, upon request, we’re offering a few more options. (noted on the Crozet Calendar earlier this week)
Mondays and Thursdays, the Crozet Cycling Club will ride between 5-10 miles at a comfortable pace around Crozet. We’ll meet at Mudhouse at 9am and leave by 9:02.

White Hall have a new school board representative in David Oberg. It was nice and refreshing to have a contested election for a change. Candidate forums, blog posts, discussions … kinda nice.
And, with only 3,912 people voting in the White Hall School Board election, if you voted, your vote actually mattered!
Images below thanks to Smart Cville.
Jonno Alcaro won the At-Large School Board seat.
Interestingly, while Steve Landes won the election, he lost Crozet White Hall.
Ann Mallek won, unopposed. 209 write-ins? I’d love to see who was written in!
There’s more than one way to stay on top of news and happenings in Crozet.
Today, 30 October – Trick or Treat in the Square from 4 to 6pm.
This year with Halloween being on Saturday, I suspect the Crozet neighborhoods will be full – of kids and parents from the neighborhoods trick or treating and kids and parents coming from less-dense neighborhoods to enjoy the fun.
What day is trick or treating in Crozet?
I will add this question: which are your favorite neighborhoods for trick-or-treating?
Answer for 2015: Saturday. 🙂
Really interesting Crozet Community Advisory Council meeting tonight. Downtown Crozet is going to change. Traffic is going to get worse different. Businesses will hopefully come to downtown Crozet.

“Who knew when we started riding together once a week, we’d end up riding 6 days a week?” — said last week after one of our rides.
It started nearly a year ago with a blog post and a standing ride, leaving at 6am on Wednesdays at the Crozet Mudhouse. Our first ride was 22 April 2015; happily, more than one person showed up!
Then a group on Strava and a Google Group. — If you want to join us, please ask to join the Google Group.
And we rode.
And we enjoy the extraordinary landscape of Western Albemarle (and surrounding areas).
Now we have a logo.
And … if you’re interested, you can order Crozet Cycling kits! (the store closes on 26 October) We’re pretty excited about these!
Personally, riding with this group has made this year better, made my riding more fun, and has better connected me to Crozet.
These are a few of the shots I’ve taken while riding my bicycle around Crozet this week​ of course, fall is a pretty awesome time to live here.
The experiment continues. David Ferrall and I have launched a new effort to educate folks, and satiate our own desires to talk about real estate. We had our first conversation in July; this time we’ve been a bit more brief.
We’re going to be at a Crozet coffee shop – for the next couple months, the Crozet Mudhouse – the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 9 to 11 if you’re curious about the market and want us to buy you a cup of coffee.
Last night was a fun forum at Brownsville. The White Hall and At-Large candidates for school board made some time to lay out their positions and reasons for running for school board.
First thoughts:
I was thisclose to leaving out my opinions, but can’t help myself. The tweets are after the break; I highly recommend you read those.
As a friend said last night on Twitter:
I’m glad we all have chance to watch presidential politics tonight, but we’d be a better country if more people paid attention to local govt
