By: SDM Staff
Colorado Springs, CO – January 18, 2012 – Southern Colorado (So-Co) Indoor BMX has partnered with Pikes Peak BMX to kick-off this year’s indoor racing season. The event will span several weekends beginning this Friday, January 20 and last into April 2012.
Spectators are always free and welcome to come and cheer on the racers. Various events will include Bicycle Moto Cross (BMX), Mountain Bike (MTB), Mountain Board (MBX) and even Strider bike races for children ages five and under. “Our goal is to promote new rider development while supporting the Colorado Springs community, helping children stay active in the winter months and providing them with positive role models,” states Event Director Bubba Hayes.
BMX made its debut in the 2008 Summer Olympics and encourages participation from boys and girls of all ages. Riders range from as young as three years of age to well into their 60’s. BMX is a true family sport.
This multi-weekend event will take place January 20-22, 27-29, March 23-25 and March 30-April 1, 2012. Collin Hudson, nationally-ranked #1, and Walker Finch, nationally-ranked #2, will be doing BMX clinics during these dates. Other nationally ranked riders will also race during the weekends’ competition.
