On behalf of the GREENSBORO FAT TIRE SOCIETY...
Welcome to the
2013
Piedmont Youth Mountain
Bike Race Series!
We had a great time last year, and we're ready for more!

This year, each race is only $10!
The goal of PYMBL is to introduce kids to racing
in an encouraging, fun environment.
Although most 'adult' races will have a "kids race", in our
experience, too often it's done as an afterthought, with all the kids under 14
lumped together and run in a grassy field while waiting for the results to be
processed for the 'real' races.
(want to know how fun it is for a 7yr old to race 14yr olds? - CAT up 2 levels
at your next race!)
We want to give the kids the same single track racing experience we love, just
scaled down and against kids their own age and skill level, so the races are
challenging and exciting. We've kept the costs low - kids 6 and under are free - and we encourage parents to ride along (just watch your back, these kids are faster than you think!)
The idea is to promote good
sportsmanship and doing your best. Any kid who enjoys riding is probably doing
all the training they need to be doing at this point. And who knows? - this series may
help serve as a stepping stone to participating in series such as the Southern
Classic, or even in a NICA league, if we get one started here in NC.
