🕕 6p-9p
🗓️ Feb 19th
📍Friendly City Events in Downtown Harrisonburg
Space of the venue is limited to 125 folks**,** please register in advance

Gather around the table and meet Coalition friend’s OTB (off the bike!). Over a relaxed dinner and drinks, we will share an update on where we’ve been and where we’re going in 2025.

If you can’t make the in-person meeting, we will have TWO virtual gatherings the week prior—one during lunchtime and one in the evening. We will share past wins, what we have to look forward to this year, and all that is in store, and then leave time to chat/hanout, share ideas, and ask questions.

Hey, and no stress if you can’t whip up some food or drink to bring—don’t let that stop you from coming! We still want to see you!!

• A–S: Bring a dish (your favorite casserole, salads, veggies, or bread works great!)
• T–Z: Bring a dessert
• BYOB!

The venue space has a limited capacity of 125, so please register in advance!

New Rider Orientation

Tuesday, March 25th from 5:30-7:30pm
New rider orientation at the Massanutten Western Slope is an opportunity for coaches to connect with newcomers and for riders to meet some of their teammates. Participants should come ready for a ride, bringing their bikes, helmets, water, etc. During the orientation, we conduct bike checks, discuss practice expectations, and conclude with a brief group ride. We strongly recommend that all new riders to ShenRock take advantage of the new rider orientation.
