What a start to the 2017 Season
Crisp dry 50 degree blue skies make the perfect backdrop for 186 riders in 44 motos at little ole Richmond BMX in Gillies Creek Park, the hidden gem of BMX right here in the RVA! Wow, what a day!
A record setting day for sure, one that felt more like a SCQ or Gold Cup event, classes were stacked. Whether it was the 41-45 cruiser class with 9 riders (yeah, old dudes... early in the season.... full rack), `` novice with a full rack of 8, the 31-35 and 51-55 cruiser classes with 7, FIVE AND UNDER NOVICE with 7 riders, or the insane competion 15 Expert. How about the 10+ first time racers, including Co-Founder of Amy's Army who organize the charity ride Pedal Thruough Petals which Richmond BMX is a proud sponsor and 10 lucky riders are going to join us on the ride, the day had it all. Heck, we had 3 racks of Balance Bikes!
We cant thank everyone enough for make the trip to come make this such a fantastic event! To our volunteers, you all are the best. So much work before the opening weekend, our volunteers came together and the track was tip top! Race day, everyone really stepped up and made it a day to remember. When a few hundred people who all love getting rad on kids bikes, it sure does make for an awesome day!
