Athens Bicycle's Mountain Bike Racing Team is mixing things up in the West Virginia Mountain Bike Association Point Series. After the first five races, team members hold top spots in various categories. This weekend, though, the majority of the team is opting to ride the roads instead because it's time for the Tour of the Hocking River Valley (see below), a perennial favorite.
