Calendar

Coming back for another round is our crew of few rad Dad’s, their Grom’s & a most awesome MOM! We’ll be out HAVING FUN on our bikes in a variety of the available categories provided by the great folk at Start 2 Finish CHARLOTTE. If interested in rolling with the team, hit us up through our CONTACT Page, no bench warmers!

What is Winter Short Track Series?

The Team competition will consist of team members across all categories earning points. The points will be derived from a new system called “Pack Points”. Pack Points are based upon the number of people racing in your category, with a minimum of 10 points for the winner. The top six people from your team will be scored.

1st Place Team – $250 and Winners Trophy/ 2nd Place Team – $150/ 3rd Place Team – $100

The series awards will be handed out this Sunday after each respective race. It will take a little more time as each will need to be calculated. We will have a podium presentation for the top 5 overall in each category.

The short course brings a unique and fun style of racing to the Charlotte area – short-track mountain bike racing on a 3/4 mile trail with banked turns. It’s a cross between a criterium, BMX, cyclo-cross and single-track, super fast and spectator-friendly. Charlotte Sports Cycling and the Tarheel Trailblazers have worked hard to create a trail that’s exciting for the race participants and spectators. Participants, based on category, will race 15 to 25 laps on the fast course. All of the events will be held at Renaissance Park. We plan to have food, an event photographer, and music at all of the events.

Not our event, but stoked for our pals in their continual mission of getting young & old alike on 2 wheels! Be it a balance bike or peddling steed, come on out & check this opportunity in “Learning To Ride”. 

“It’s never too early (or too late!) learn to ride a two-wheeler! Kids of all ages and grown-ups, too, can Learn to Ride a bike using the tried-and-true “balance bike” method. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s a skill that will last a lifetime! Join the fun, and this FREE opportunity to Learn to Ride!

Learn to Ride is a not-for-profit, 100% volunteer series of events to grow Charlotte’s cycling community one new cyclist at a time. Learn to Ride is made possible in partnership with Bicycle Sport and Trips for Kids Charlotte, with support from Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, Mecklenburg County Public Health, and well-run media + marketing.

The event is geared to kids (of all ages!) and parents of kids, who want to learn to ride a bicycle without training wheels. Parents should bring their kids, their kids’ bikes and helmets. Don’t have a bike or helmet? Don’t worry – we have loaners! We’ll walk the soon-to-be-riders through the process, which is to sign in, check bike and helmet fit, remove training wheels and pedals, and lower the seat so the rider can stand comfortably over the bike. When the time’s right, we’ll reinstall the pedals – and turn this “balancing act” into practice with the pedals in motion!

No advance sign ups are necessary – just show up ready to have fun!”

Stoked to bring a version of our “Rad Little Rodeo” to the grounds of PRIMAL BREWERY  to help with friends at “J’s Kids”. A program dedicated to get to work with area schools and kids needing a bit of extra awesomeness in honor of “J”, who passed away in 2018 of cancer. So come on out for some awesomeness to include corn hole, vendors, food, raffles, our Rad Little Rodeo for the little ones & bike games for the adults. Oh, totally can’t forget we’ll be at PRIMAL Brewery, so there’s that bit of awesomeness too!
