shenrockShenRock Bike Team had a super fall of learning, racing and riding. To start off our season we had a few open house type practices held at the Rocktown Trails at Hillandale park where we invited youth riders interested in the team to come out and ride with us and get a taste of what we are all about. We had a huge turnout that was way beyond what we had expected and we picked up some great kids that joined the team from those events.

Once we got our season going, we have to give a Big Thank You to all our awesome volunteer coaches that we had this season. Thirteen talented and generous folks came out to help these kids develop as cyclists and individuals and what growth we had from last year. We had 27 kids on the team with 18 of those traveling to race at various venues across the state. It was really rewarding to see the growth of the kids and how friendships between them developed, through their shared enjoyment of riding bike.shen-rock-mass

If you are or have a student between the ages of 9 and 18 that are interested in improving their cycling skills, having fun and maybe dabbling in some racing, ShenRock bike team might just be the ticket for you. This is definitely a growing sport that is spreading across the country in school systems and communities. Here in Virginia, we had 21 teams practicing and competing in races with an average race attendance of about 250 kids. We anticipate larger numbers in the following seasons and for all the H-Burg and surrounding crew, we will be racing at Massanutten this spring and presumably Stokesville Campground again in the fall.

The team rides twice a week (generally at Massanutten) during the spring and fall. Team rides are open to all SVBC members and we are always looking for more adult volunteers and more interested student riders. While some team members do race, racing is NOT a required component to come out and ride with the team.
