SVMBA is excited to add SHEETZ to our growing list of club sponsors and also as a race sponsor for our upcoming race on Sunday June 8th.  Not being very familiar with the sport of mountain biking, the distances we travel, the fuel we burn, the need for sports drinks and food, they we're a little apprehensive at first.  We here at SVMBA considered this a win-win for both of our organizations and we've encouraged them to take the first step to learning more about our sport and becoming an SVMBA sponsor.

We want to say thank you to local (Danville) store manager Jenny and all her employees.  We would also appreciate it if SVMBA members and supporters would take a few moments to walk into our local store as pass along a "Thank you" to store employees and the manager in person.  With today's economic conditions, it is increasingly difficult to find "non-bike industry"  sponsors to support SVMBA and we are extremely grateful that they said yes.  With your support of SVMBA's sponsors, we can do more than we ever imagined for the sport of mountain biking here in Southside Virginia.

We'll have $900.00 in SHEETZ "Z Cards" on the prize table in addition to over $1,000.00 in merchandise from Southern Classic Series sponsor MAXXIS ! ! !  Race winners can use their "Z Cards" for Gas, Food or whatever they like ! ! !

Sheetz is a growing family-owned business with  more than  350 stores across 6 states (VA, NC, MD, WV, OH, PA).  In fact, they have 17 stores in North Carolina and over 56 stores in Virginia (find a store location near you)

Here's a short description of Sheetz from their website . . .

"Above all else, Sheetz is about providing kicked-up convenience while being more than just a convenience store.  Sheetz is a mecca for people on the go.  If you need to refuel your car or refresh your body, we have what you need to keep you moving on to whatever comes next."

"Road warriors. Construction workers. Soccer moms. They all have a special place at Sheetz.  We know you don't have time to run all over town for the things you need.  Sheetz has what you need, when you need it.  And, we're here 24/7/365. Even on Christmas day."
