Devils Backbone Challenge 2009 is in the history books and the first event is a total success! The parking lot of Devils Backbone Brewing Company was packed Saturday morning as bikers from all over the region participated in the inaugural event at the Nelson County microbrewery. Nelson County Life Magazine was a co-sponsor of this year’s event.
Our Paul Purpura, with his very big new lens in tow, was out to grab all of the shots both on the pavement and cross country!
The race was part of the larger Virginia Off Road Series.

Long before the race got underway, entrants signed in for the race at the beautiful brewery just below Black Rock Mountain in Beech Grover/Roseland.

The weather perfectly cooperated for the 1st annual event that brewery owner, Steve Crandall, says will be held every Memorial Day from now on.
See you at the 2010 Devils Backbone Challenge!
