BikeTexas KidsKup @ Bicycle Sport Shop’s

Pace Bend Mountain Bike Festival

April 14, 2012 2pm-3pm

Registration opens at Noon

BikeTexas KidsKup introduces youth to basic bike safety and handling skills in a fun outdoor environment. BikeTexas staff prepare a child-friendly course and provide proper helmet adjustment and bike inspection to every child. Included will be lots of fun physical activity!

Course

All BikeTexas KidsKup courses are designed for safety and fun, with beginner kids in mind, and are usually about 1/4 mile in length. At many events, a separate shorter course is set up for kids on training wheels. The courses are always close to the venue area to allow easy spectating for parents and friends.

Categories

Training Wheels (all ages), 6 & under, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12. Depending on number of racers, fields may be combined or split into boys and girls classes. The younger categories will usually do one lap, and the older categories will do two laps.

Schedule

Registration will run from 12pm - 2pm. The safety clinic is at 2pm, with racing starting immediately following the clinic.

Awards

All participants will receive product from Clif Bar and Shimano. Medals will be handed out at the finish of each race; all kids will win a medal.
