Adam Stein

Adam started riding bikes as a fun way to cross train for the swim team. Shortly after that swimming took a back seat to bike riding. He made it down to Harrisonburg for the first time in 2020 to ride in the George Washington National Forest and fell in love with the Shenandoah Valley. 

He’s been working in bike shops since 2020 and loves exploring the world on two wheels, especially when there are hills to be conquered. More recently, he has struggled to keep wraps on his bike collection, ranging from early 2000’s road race bikes to an American made Recumbent, as well as a slew of Mountain bikes: he loves being on two wheels! 

When the opportunity came about to move to Harrisonburg he jumped all in. Since moving to town he has been coaching with the ShenRock MTB club and riding as much as possible. 


Evan Powell

Evan started his two-wheeled escapades when joining a cycling team in Nashville, TN at a young age. Though he started out riding road, singletrack and gravel-style riding began to pique his interest when he moved to Germany at the age of 12. He also spent lots of his time hiking, running and camping.

After around a decade in Germany, he moved to Virginia and began exploring the mountains here and in West Virginia. These mountains stirred an interest in him in long distance backpacking, canoeing, and of course cycling. Multi-day adventures are a real passion of his, so talk his ear off about any of your ideas! After hiking a large portion of the Allegheny Trail, he figured he’d give his achilles tendon a break and focus on riding again.
