Tim Pyle...You will be missed! 12/24/74-12/29/11

A great friend of SBC's and the Harrisonburg community passed away on Thursday. He had a hard uphill battle with cancer and hopefully he can now rest and enjoy the view. We love you!

Happy Holidays from SBC.

Last night was the annual SBC Holiday party and Tim and Sue's beautiful home. It is always good for the SBC to get together, enjoy some delicious Indian American Cafe followed by the deserts from the Joshua Wilton House.

Getting cold out there but warm in SBC!

We had a full house on Thursday night for the Winter SBC Bike Maintenance/Workshop. Thanks to everyone who showed! Our next event will be January 5th, "Harrisonburg Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan Workshop and Discussion"

Here is a new video for SBC...Thanks to Peter and Jon from JMU for their work on this project.

12 December 2011

Tonight is the monthly meeting of the minds at the  Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition Social at Clementine where fellow cyclists of all types can eat, drink, and hang out. Good times are had by all so make sure to come out tonight and support your local cycling scene! This weekend made for excellent "chilly" conditions to get out on the bike on both road and mountain. Kyle and others sought out to conquer Elliot Knob, the highest point in the GWNF, not once but twice making a figure eight route that was sure to put them in the Hurt Locker. Collin, David, and Paul went out with Spagehtti Legs Team Manager Scott Wootten, Cycling News' Sue George, Matthew, Collin W., and Chad in the National Forest to ride, take in some views, and record some video on Lookout Mountain. This Thursday will be another installment of SBC's Winter Bike Maintenance Clinic. This week Tim and others from the SBC staff will be going over shifting and gear adjustments. Ever had that shifting that was never spot on , weird noises coming from the derailleur? Well come out and learn how to tune you own derailleurs! Until Next Time, Go Ride Bikes!

Monday 28 November

Great weather has made for excellent riding conditions, this is the kind of November weather we can all get used to. Take Advantage of these temps and go for a spin! Nice weather always calls for a pre/post ride Acai Bowl from PULP to keep the energy levels at a max, so come on by and let everyone working here inside know how good your ride was on this beautiful day.  Don't forget this Thursday will be another installment of SBC's Winter Maintenance Workshop, so bring your bike and get a chance to  learn some new tips from the area's finest mechanics and socialize with other riders in the cycling community!  Some of the SBC crew got out on a ride to Woodstock tower this weekend, good rocks, flowing ridge and great views. Check it Out!
