more of Brian's story

Unfortunately, there is more of Brian's story.  He asked me to post this here.  Like many around here, I met Brian on some Michaux rides in 2011.  Then I saw him again at AS-5 of the Shenandoah Mtn 100, when he passed me at 85 miles.  He had a big hole in his leg, blood, and no idea that he also had Stage 4 cancer in his head and neck.  He was super happy to be nearly finished his first Shenandoah 100.  Here's an old MBM post on that.

And here's a great story on him before he ever had cancer.  His story was pretty impressive before he even started this sport of mountain biking.  https://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=5860. 

Brian and Lee Ann have been overwhelmed at the support shown by the mountain bike community.  They certainly deserve it, and more.

Here is the latest

Tuscarora Trail Work

If any of you are headed out for that afternoon TORC ride on saturday, I've got some trail work scheduled for the morning. If trail work interests you, come on out. We'd love the extra help. We are working with DCNR to reroute a section of the Hart Ridge Trail near Fowlers Hollow State Park. There's one cool 3-way rock line I'd like to focus on, some rock armoring, and a rough cut in of the reroute. It's a section of the race course for next weekends race, but something that will hopefully last for longer than I'll be alive. Let me know I you are interested. There's a cooler of 21st amendment at the end of the day.

We've got a few tools but if you have any tools to bring, more is usually better. Bring a bagged lunch, water, work clothing, etc.

Meeting at 305 Oakville Rd Shippensburg @ 8:30am or out at the parking lot on Perry Lumber Road (40.279423, -77.582665) at ~9:45am.

Drop me a line if you want to come out: two9er@gmail.com

Cross Races Are Dangerous!
