Tree Shaker MTN Bike Challenge

11/15/2016

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and raced the 2016 Tree Shaker Mountain Bike Challenge. We had beautiful weather for the event and the trail was in the best shape I've ever seen.

Special thanks to our wonderful sponsors Heartwood Tree Service, BikeSource, Carolina BBQ & Catering, ReNu Energy Solutions and the Cup Cake Truck for making this such a great event. We could not put on such a great event without our sponsors.

Last but not least, it was great to be able to help out a fellow mountain biker. We will end up raising around $1k to $1.2K for help with his medical bills. Every little bit helps!!!

Who is planning to walk away with this on Saturday at the Tree Shaker? These awards are bad ass!! If you're scared....you might want to stay home and watch Beverly Hills Housewives!!!

Not only do you get to race with you buddies on the super sweet trails of ASCG and eat like a king, you are helping a fellow mountain biker out as we will be giving a portion of every entry fee to our friend Terry Slifer and the Magic Eye Fund. We are currently about 25% of the way towards our fundraising goal of $2k.

BTW, there's still tees available in all sizes at this point.
