This morning Gary and I met two customers (and friends of the shop) at Shenandoah River State Park for a quick mountain bike ride. They had been planning to camp at the park and caught a post Gary put on Facebook about our impending ride. Gary recently purchased a GT Zaskar 29" mountain bike. 29" is the diameter of the wheels on the bike, and I only point this out because for many, many years the standard was 26" (which I still ride). The larger wheel provides less rolling resistance and the ability to cross obstacles (like rocks and downed trees) easier. At least that's the
general theory. I am
fairly certain that Gary would agree with that theory. Today we primarily stuck to the fast,
rolling trail that parallels the river. We did take one side trail that had a pretty nice little climb. Due to time constraints, we had to cut the ride short and head back to prepare to open the shop. Still lots more left for us to explore in the Park, to include the more "technical" single-track trails. "Thrive Outside"

From the photos on FB, looks like the alternative ride was also a good time. I didn't know they had bike tracks in the River Park.
