Carson City BMX riders head into State Qualfiers, plus two big June events
Hundreds of BMX riders gathered and raced Sunday afternoon for the Carson City BMX State Qualifiers. Carson City BMX has Friday Night Lights races every Friday night, signups are from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. There is also a free new rider clinic on June 27 at 5 p.m. Regular Sunday racing is every Sunday, signups are from 9 to 10 a.m.
Carson BMX is putting on a CCBMX Race for Life scheduled for Friday night, June 19. Helping other people is one of the finest things that anyone can do in life. Carson City BMX offers an opportunity through the sport of BMX to help people in two ways.
Through gathering of donations for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, riders will be helping fight and bring an end to dreadful diseases that affect thousands of people each year. Riders can also introduce BMX to friends and neighbors that may not have thought they would ever be able to participate in competitive BMX, as this is the only race where riders don't have to be an ABA member to try BMX.
The race will be located at Pete Livermore Edmonds Sports Complex, 1555 Livermore Lane, Carson City. Cost is $10. Equipment: Bicycle (chain guard, kickstand, pegs removed); Helmet (we do have loaners); long sleeve shirt and long pants, sneakers and we recommend gloves. If under 18, need adult or guardian to sign.
Meanwhile, USA BMX has joined forces with the United States Olympic Committee and USA Cycling to offer a free day of BMX racing at in celebration of Olympic Day, Sunday, June 21.
Carson City BMX, in conjunction with other BMX tracks are promoting Olympic Day. The goal of Olympic Day is to promote the Olympic values and participation in sport across the globe regardless of age, gender or athletic ability. So bring out your bike (no kickstand, no chain guard, no reflectors); wear long sleeve shirt, long pants, enclosed shoes (i.e. sneakers), [and gloves are recommended] and a helmet (we do have some you can borrow) and you’re ready to race. You do not need to be a member but under 18 needs parent or guardian signature. This is a free event. Signups are 9-10 am.
