18 Years is a long time...Tour de Burg living strong.

Before we opened the doors of SBC the Tour de Burg was in it's early years of formation. In the late 90's this event was comprised of a few friends going big on two wheels for 10 consecutive days. The Tour was a time to explore, ride and vacate from work and other responsibilities.  The stages would alter between off road adventures and long Century rides ascending the biggest road climbs around the Valley.  Now the Tour de Burg was been reduced to 5-6 days but there are more friends enjoying the entire Tour or  just "pouching" a stage or two. The Tour de Burg is the type of event that makes the Harrisonburg bicycle community a family! It makes SBC proud to help support this type of grass roots event. Maybe one day we will be celebrating the 100th addition of the event similar to that other Tour on the other side of the pond.  We hope you can come out for a stage or two of this year's 18th addition of the Tour de Burg.
