Central Texas Grassroots Cycling is proud to announce Bicycle Sport Shop as the title sponsor for this years Dirt Derby.

The Bicycle Sport Shop Dirt Derby will feature several new additions and refinements to continue to enhance the most exciting off-road race series that Texas has to offer.

Bicycle Sport Shop will provide merchandise awards which will be made available to all our riders and will provide a service tent every week for any last-minute adjustments.

In addition, there will be three demo days throughout the season so that everyone can preview the latest from Specialized and other manufacturers to be determined. And if that wasn’t enough, they will also throw a free burger night so you can experience all the excellent cooking skills they have on offer as well.

We’re very excited for our partnership with Bicycle Sport Shop, and with support from them and you we hope to make the 2010 Bicycle Sport Shop Dirt Derby our most enjoyable season yet.

Our season starts next Tuesday, September 7th, with the first race starting at 6:30. For more details on the series look around the site or contact us, and to see more about Bicycle Sport Shop visit www.bicyclesportshop.com.
