I’m not really sure where August went, June or July either for that matter, but Justin and I are loading up the van to head south to Virginia for the Shenandoah Mountain 100. Web Guru Jeff Lockwood will be headed down also from the Philadelphia annex of Dirt Rag HQ. As an official Dirt Rag World Tour stop we’ll have some sweet premiums to entice you to subscribe or renew. Tires from Panaracer, inflators from Genuine Innovations and bottles from Platypus. We’ll be around all day Saturday and maybe post race Sunday.

Justin and I will also be racing. I’ve got one 100-miler under my belt and this will be Justin’s first. According to Chris Scott of Shenandoah Mountain Touring, promoter of this race, the Wilderness 101 and the Stoopid 50, the starting grid is completely full. Big group, great riding and the weather looks good. Hope we see you there!
