Look the end is just over there.

The 2011 SDS 2 Day is a few days out!

So excited to be about to head deep into Virginia's amazing backcountry for 2 days of bicycling the most pristine singletrack the George Washington National Forest has to offer. What a ride! We hope you like the few pics above. There should be many more amazing pictures to follow after the 2011 rides.

Tony makes the big push over the last summit at the top of Dowells Draft in the SDS 3 - day. Going big with your bicycle on National Forest singletrack is a great experience!

Gotta like the pink lady slippers!

2010 SDS

Sooo exciting!

Never have we spent so much time preparing the trails for this ride

Never have we had all the trails riding this well for the ride

 

The 2 day has been full since the Creasy Lodge was booked in October

The 3 day is filling fast, just a few slots left – get on it YO!

 

Sorry the honorable Mike Klasmeier won’t be able to make it this year

He is nursing a broken foot for the next few months – DOUP!

 

Check out one of our missions on the SMT blog

Southern Traverse mission #1

Yes there were 4 more missions needed to clear Shenandoah Mountain Trail from Rt. 250 to Rt. 627

Over 100 hours of preparation with chainsaws, handsaws and our bicycles!
