Tour of Shenandoah - Final Stage Photos

The final stage of the Tour of Shenandoah bicycle race was held yesterday in Waynesboro, Va, and since the BlackBird Images team had so much fun at the opening day's events, we decided to attend. The weather was gorgeous, the city of Waynesboro did a great job of creating a safe and exciting course, and the riders didn't disappoint. Here's Jeremiah Bishop, nationally- (and world-ranked) mountain biker and Harrisonburg resident cresting the steep uphill section.

We can't stress enough how fun the event was. We know next to nothing about cycling, but we didn't need to know anything about the sport to appreciate how talented the riders are. It's always fun to watch people who excel at what they do - whatever their sport or skill. It's also hard not to admire anyone who is willing to put up with this level of pain.
