Buttermilk. There's always something spicy to keep it interesting.
Within 1 hour - Charlottesville has some goods - Ride Ohill for quick, fun gnar, couple drops and a massive step up. Ragged is a blast.
Little Over an hour - White Rock Gap is one of the most fun descents nearby. Super fun, doesn't last long enough, reminds me of Pisgah a bit. There's no good way to get to the top.
Blue Ridge School is fun.
2 hours - Stokesville. Narrowback west to Tillman West is probably the best introduction to the area if you're not used to hour long climbs and a decent amount of chunk coming down. You can shuttle Reddish, but I find the first third kinda meh.
Over 2 hours - Pisgah. Just go to Pisgah.

My biggest ‘pet peeve’ in my 40 years on this planet is when a man says the same exact thing a woman says and whoever the “they” is they accommodate the man! 🤮

I'm pretty sure you don't want kids unknowingly playing in it 20 minutes later? I'm no expert on the topic, but I know enough to stay away from it until it dries.

americans when people suggest bare minimum traffic calming: 😡
americans when the dot flattens half the city and spends billions making interstates (it saves them 4 minutes): 😁

it's not actually a big deal unless they sprayed it on someone, as long as they used legal stuff, which I assume they did.
The big issue with glyphosate is spraying it on crops, not on weeds. That's what gets insufficient attention

“we’ve tried nothing and were all out of solutions!” - city of richmond
i cant wait until the day this city stops making shitty, sorry attempts at making this city pedestrian friendly. if the city cared enough, they could make cary st 2x better for pedestrians, but thats against their pro-car agenda

As do other cities in both the US and even elsewhere in Virginia. The city government here just always chooses the laziest/cheapest option for any given situation while making lazy/lame excuses as to why their way is the only way.
Every member of the city council and the mayor needs to be flushed out like the turds they are.

eggs should be fine. Not ideal but they don't really need refrigeration. I wouldn't worry about eggs personally or cheese given what you say.
Use your sense of smell and your best judgment, and err on the side of safety, but it doesn't sound scary considering

I've seen people actually hit the gas and speed up when they see them on Robinson St.

I'm not a technical rider at all and my goal on the trails is to avoid injury at all times. Leakes Mill is my favorite course because of this as it's more of an XC style of trail. It's challenging from an endurance and leg strength standpoint yet flowy enough for you to have fun without too much risk of hurting yourself. It's also impossible to get turned around and lost as it's just a giant loop.

The Capitol Square and vicinity are excellent. My partner and I will just walk around the path there.

Lots of these Scott’s Addition places are uber strict on seating and reservations. We’ve experienced similar situations.
