If you are going to try Mountain Bike Racing

Shenandoah Bicycle Company had a phenomenal time over Labor Day weekend at the Shenandoah Mountain 100 put on by Shenandoah Mountain Touring and based out of Stokesville VA. While Tim, Thomas, Sam, and David (along with a number of awesome SBC customers) held down the fort at aid station #3 (Bottom of Dowells Draft), Collin, Matt and Kyle raced the event. 

Matt Hassman, after moving to the Valley a little over a year ago decided (with some peer pressure from the rest of the shop employees) to enter into his first mountain bike event ever. Not only was the Shenandoah Mountain 100 Matt's first off-road cycling event experience, it was also the first time he had ridden any of the trails on the course. Matt has spent most of the past year exploring all the roads of the valley but after the SM100 he is super jazzed to checkout the amazing trails the region has to offer. He was also murmuring something about a new 650b full suspension bicycle in his future...

Aren't we lucky to have such amazing mountain biking and road biking all in the same place? A big congratulations is also in order for the multitude of SBC customers who finished the SM100 this year. Especially those who finished the event for their first time ever. 

Matt Hassman at the finish line all smiles.
