hey, it sounds like a great race and i'm thinking about driving up from atlanta.

i've been training for long distance rides and am currently doing 2 30 mile rides a week on singletrack. But I can't climb worth a d@m and it took me 10 hours to do the Off road AOMM a brutal 60 miler.

If you were stoopit like me wood u pass on this and do it next year or go for it now and try to finish before having to be at work monday morning?

You guys will have fun. Chris Scott puts together a great race. 12,000' of climbing with support teams that are like angels. Bring some extra gloves, socks, shorts, and legs if ya gottem. There are some hungry animals that want in the top 50.
I would be there for support but the dh bug bit me this year. My climbing will be on a chair lift

See you all there.

Landis to Shenandoah Mountain 100

Floyd Landis will be racing at the Shenandoah Mountain 100, the finale in the National Ultra Endurance (NUE) Series to be held on Labor Day weekend near Harrisonburg, Virginia, in the George Washington National Forest.

"I am honored to be invited to be part of the Shenandoah Mountain 100 event. I look forward to racing on the challenging course they have put together since it includes the kind technical trail riding that first got me hooked on mountain bike racing," said 2006 Tour de France Champion Landis, who started his career growing up and racing his mountain bike throughout the mid-Atlantic.

While waiting to learn the outcome of his May anti-doping arbitration hearing that followed a positive doping test for testosterone in Stage 17 of the 2006 Tour de France, Landis has kept himself busy by returning to his roots and racing his mountain bike. Just a few weeks ago, he finished second at the Leadville 100, and earlier this summer, he took part in the Teva Games in Colorado.

Landis accepted an invitation to race the Shenandoah Mountain 100 offered to him by Mid Atlantic Off Road Enthusiast (MORE) member Scott Scudamore, who served as MC at a Floyd Fairness Fund event held in Northern Virginia in January. At the time, he deferred committing and joked instead, "I'd like to come, but I don't have to race if it's raining, right?"

"I'm pretty stoked that Floyd Landis has decided to return to his mountain biking roots and show up for the SM100. I've been dogging him for close to a year," said Promoter Chris Scott.

"If he's really on his game, he could beat the course record set by Jeremiah Bishop last year of 7 hours, 15 minutes," said Scott.
