2009 Bike Texas Kids
Kup
and
Shimano Youth Series Events
The highly
successful Bike Texas Kids Kup and national-level Shimano
Youth Series events return for their 10th consecutive year
as part of the 2009 Texas Mountain Bike State Championship.
The Bike Texas Kids Kup and Shimano Youth Series events are
a great way to introduce young riders to safe and fun cycling
with just the right touch of “competition” to
get them hooked on the sport.
Parents: this is a GREAT opportunity for your kids to have
tons of fun and experience the thrill of mountain bike racing.
Registration opens at noon Saturday at each TMBRA Series race
at the Solar Eclipse Racing Team tent. Sign your kids up and
share their excitement!
Geared to riders 12 and under, the program is an exciting
addition to each of the Texas Mountain Bike Racing Association
(TMBRA) Series races. Sponsored by the Texas Bicycle Coalition,
Shimano Corporation, Clif Bar, and organized by the Solar
Eclipse Racing Team, the Bike Texas Kids Kup and Shimano Youth
Series events feature a safety clinic, where kids learn the
importance of wearing a helmet and maintaining their bicycles,
a skill clinic, where participants learn technical bike handling
skills and a race clinic, where the youngsters will find appropriate
age/distance race courses to experience the thrill of mountain
bike competition
.
The best thing – everyone is a “Winner”
thanks to Shimano providing medals, tee-shirts and swag to
all participants! This top-notch program draws 25-100 young
cyclists at each event throughout the year and many Kids Kup
participants have graduated into the USAC MTB 10 and under,
and 12 and under racing classes.
All kids, 12 and under, are welcome to participate and it’s
free! Just bring a helmet, bike, and mom or dad to sign the
entry form. Registration opens at 12 noon at the Solar Eclipse
Racing Team tent with activities beginning at 2pm.
