Biking Washington - Guest Blogger Shannon Hinman

Biking all year round largely influenced my family's decision to move to southern Utah and we were not disappointed. What an extraordinary feeling to jump on my bike and in minutes be riding on the slick rock of Church Rocks and the fast single track of Prospector trail. Our family also enjoys riding on the miles of paved pathways around the city. The only thing missing was a bike shop... until now.

Ian and Crystal Shockley must have felt similarly when they sold their shop in northern Utah to team up with Robbie Staheli and open Bike Fix in Washington. This new store brought with it community shop rides and the Southern Utah Junior Cycling Club. They also have plans to start an inexpensive racing series and build more trails, so I am excited to welcome Bike Fix.

Hooray for Crystal Shockley who is participating in the Ironman this year. I plan to be on Main Street in Washington with the rest of our community enjoying a free pancake breakfast May 5th and ringing cowbells for Crystal and other Ironman racers.
