Harrisonburg Wins the Blue Ridge Cyclocross Cup

By -

Free Grassroots racing was in top form this fall cross season with the second installment of the Blue Ridge Cyclocross Cup. A local series between Staunton, Harrisonburg, and Charlotesville, saw 2 races in each town spaced out across the fall riding season. Every other Tuesday afternoon a race was held in one of the towns. Points were awarded not only for the top 10 positions but also for new riders, number of spectators and participation. The races in Harrisonburg saw 40-60 people turn out for each event, an amazing turnout for such a small local race series. Each race was at a different venue, in town we used Westover for the first race and Ralph Sampson park (in the dark) for the second. Fooftown and Rocktown battled it out for points the entire series but a weak showing but the Foof led to a Rocktown landslide bashing at the last race of the year. Look forward to an even bigger series next year.

Shenandoah Bicycle Company Bikes Looking for a Good Home From time to time we have bikes that hang around the shop a little longer than we would like. Often the bikes get lonely when this much time passes and they continue to sit at SBC. Our goal here is to find homes for all of these wonderful bikes where someone will love them, care for them, and most of all ride them! In order to expedite the process of getting these bikes out the door, SBC is prepared to give you some incentives to tickle you into taking one of these sweet machines home. Mention that you saw this on our blog as most of these deals will not be listed on the bikes... The Electra Amsterdam is a Sweet Ride with classic style.

USA Made Cycling products

Sustainable products produced in the United States have become harder and harder to find these days but here at SBC we still try our best to stock products by companies who care about their impact on the world. Products made in the USA do create and preserve US jobs but that is only a fraction of the argument. Garments produced here ensure that the workers are paid a livable wage and work under decent conditions. This is in stark contrast to many of the other garments that we wear when they are produced in nameless factories overseas. Our primary bike line, Trek , the largest bike company in the country is the only major bicycle company to still make ANY frames in the United States. All high end Trek OCLV carbon road and mountain bikes are STILL made in Trek's Waterloo Wisconsin factory. All Madone frames starting at the 5.1 and above are made in the good ol US of A. If you are interested in biking at night either on the road or the trails you should look into Light and Motio
