Sometimes a race idea is too ahead of its time, or perhaps the interest is not there. This is what we face with the SHReD. At this this time, there seems to be little appetite for an eBike race, and we closing down registration. Instead of a race, we will be hosting a group eBike ride as part of the Bike Your Park Day initiative. More information to follow. Plug in. Clip in. Send it. The Shenandoah SHReD brings Cross-Country E-Bike Racing to Shenandoah River State Park for the first time — and it’s doing it on Bike Your Park Day, Virginia State Parks’ annual statewide celebration of cycling on two wheels. Whether you’re a seasoned XC-E competitor chasing podium points or a rider discovering what this park’s trail network can do, September 27th is your day to find out. The course is set entirely within Shenandoah River State Park, where the Blue Ridge Mountains frame a network of hardwood-ridge singletrack and open river-corridor trails that reward both skill and speed. With nearly 1,100 feet of elevation gain per lap, technical climbs, and a fast, flowing descent back to the valley floor, this course will test your fitness, your bike setup, and your power management from the first pedal stroke to the last. This is a Bike Your Park Day event. That means your race entry is a celebration — of Virginia’s trail systems, of the park that hosts us, and of the growing community of riders proving that e-bikes belong on the starting line.
