Basil Hangemanole, originally hailing from Washington D.C., is a proud 1971 graduate of the University of Maryland and a former member of the U.S. Army (ABN), where he served his country from 1963 to 1969. Nearly four decades ago, he made the decision to relocate to Massanutten, VA, and has since regarded the Shenandoah Valley as his beloved home.With over 25 years of experience in the construction industry, Basil possesses a profound understanding of home construction, which has fueled his transition into the realm of real estate. Joining Kline May as a real estate agent in 1995, he specializes in various facets of real estate, deriving particular satisfaction from assisting first-time home buyers by imparting knowledge and guiding them through the intricacies of the market.When not immersed in real estate, Basil finds solace and joy in outdoor pursuits, including year-round bicycling and teaching ski lessons during the winter months. A staunch advocate for bicycle advocacy, he dedicated two terms to the board of the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition and played a pivotal role in establishing the Rockingham County Bicycle Advisory Committee (RCBAC), striving to promote safe bicycling within the community.Basil's passion for bicycling extends beyond advocacy; he embarked on a memorable journey in the fall of 2011, riding his Trek 520 across the southern tier of the United States from San Diego, CA to St Augustine, FL, accompanied by three friends. The 46-day adventure, chronicled in a blog, epitomizes his adventurous spirit and love for exploration on two wheels. Additionally, Basil's involvement with the DR100 Board of Directors underscores his commitment to initiatives that honor and support the bicycling community.
