Bike Shenandoah to honor Steve Leaman ’75
The 23rd annual Bike Shenandoah event will honor Steve Leaman, class of ’75. Steve loved biking and outdoor activities, and helped organize the ride in recent years as part of his work with Virginia Mennonite Missions. Steve was a beloved older brother of Paul Leaman, EMS head of school.
Bike Shenandoah is an annual family-friendly fundraising event which includes rides of 5, 15, 30, or 62 miles in the Shenandoah Valley. This year, non-bikers can also participate by walking or playing golf, one of Steve’s other favorite sports.
