Celebrate Leap Day with us!

Hopefully this Tuesday we’ll be able to get the spring Peddler Dirt Derby underway. There are some chances of rain between now and then, but we’re currently going to say that racing is on and if it needs to be cancelled we’ll let y’all know.

So, Tuesday! New course! Fun times! Short-Track MTB and cyclocross! And a reminder that we’ve got an updated schedule as well:

6:15 PM Kids Race
6:30 PM Beginner Race (20 min)
7:00 PM Intermediate Short Track MTB & Cyclocross
7:30 PM Open Race

If your bike has gotten a bit dirty between now and the last time we raced, clean it up with some Grease Monkey Wipes. If you’ve gotten a bit dirty between now and the last time we raced then take a shower. Seriously. And then come out and get dirty with us again this Tuesday at…

Alright,

So we were all ready to start up The Peddler Dirt Derby tomorrow evening – complete with a new course – but then the rains came.  So we’re hoping mother nature will allow us to start the spring series next Tuesday on the 28th.

We have a new course? Yes. The main motocross course has been moved south of the parking lot and we helped the owner design a new course that we can use in the old location. So the races this spring will have a different feel than ones we’ve done in the past – we hope you like it. What this also allowed us to do was design a more exciting kids race, so bring the kiddos out and have them race on something that was designed specifically with them in mind.

Also, there will be a slight schedule change for the spring. We are combining our Intermediate Races so that the race schedule now looks like this:

6:15 PM Kids Race
6:30 PM Beginner Race (20 min)
7:00 PM Intermediate Short Track MTB & Cyclocross
7:30 PM Open Race

Importantly, the Intermediate Cyclocross has been moved up and combined with the Intermediate MTB, and the Open Race has also been moved up by 30 minutes, which will allow us all to get out of there a bit earlier.

So that is all the news for our 2012 spring series; we hope to be able to start racing as soon as the weather allows. In the meantime, check out our friendly sponsors: The Peddler Bike Shop, f3 Designs, Tom Mahnke Real Estate, Austin on Two Wheels, Grease Monkey Wipes and Rising Phoenix Adventures – they all support us and allow us to put on this spring series as well as the one last fall, so we’re very grateful for their support.

We hope to see y’all next Tuesday,
