The Pro Tour rolls out- great view of the Llong Run drainage off Shenandoah Mountain still socked in by the moisture in the air.

Good to get JB and Nick on the cross tires
Sue is soooo excited to ride
Ryan is digging his new Dura Ace Madone
Kyle's is racing red
Andy is on a mission
-nice!

Sweet fixy park ride with Sultan the 6 pack champ while the ground was still frozen this am - good stuff!

lots of face shots from tree's hanging under the weight of the snow
always good to wear an extra layer of clothing when there is snow all about
even with the same respective temps
brushing up against the snow can really draw the warmth out of you

Winter Road Touring in the Shenandoah Valley - even the locals get in the miles!

bishop gave me this helmet last week

i was using my climbing helmet because it is more adjustable

he thought i look like a dork

i always look like a dork

i made his really nice trek helmet look dorky today

anything to stay warm

function over form for me!

that is Mole Hill over yonder

looking back east towards town and Massanutten

this guy was riding home from school

maybe a Mennonite youngster

maybe just a farmer

you can tell riding his bike is a huge part of his life

i had to stop and take in this view

jr. started putting the drop on me

looking north west towards whitegrass

jr. is almost out of sight

heading up the backside of Mole Hill

looks like snow in WV

dropping over the hump that is Mole Hill to the east

I was able to get in 1 hour out in the Valley
Dreamcicle...shiney and scenic!

Deerfield Valley's eastern side is home to Elliotts Knob and Crawford Mtn.- Big Stuff!

Got in a sweet loop
Elliotts is HUGE
Crawford is sooo sweet
...once you get over the 5 humps

Jake did really well on the big frozen mountain

Price Mtn. in the Jefferson National Forest is one sweet ride!

Had a great ride with Jake Brown on Price Mountain
Its thin
Its steep
It rained
It was cold
good times

We didn't get to ride Kelly Trail mid way out the ridge
but man did it look nice
We did roll North all the way out Price and off the end down to the road

- sorry to hit this without you Jeffro, Chilli n B'Brown
