Kids Kup at Pain on the Plains – Palo Duro Canyon State Park

Texbiker.net Posted on by

BikeTexas Kids Kup is a FREE, fun, off-road bike event designed to produce smiles on the faces of all young participants as they finish the race course. Every child receives a medal.

Age range is 12 all the way down to tykes on trikes and training wheels. Parents can run behind and “help” the younger folks. If your child wants to be in Kids Kup, he or she is old enough.

Helmets are required. Any standard kids bike in good repair is fine.

After a bicycle and helmet safety session, long-time youth bike racing experts Bill and Jacque Payne divide the kids into age-appropriate groups for the races. Every child gets a goodie bag and there is a drawing for free helmets after the event.

Many Kids Kup cyclists graduate to Bill and Jacque’s Shimano Youth Series mountain bike racing program and participate in the TMBRA adult races on Sunday morning.

Place: Palo Duro Canyon State Park 22 miles SE of Amarillo, Texas
Date: Saturday, September 27, 2008
Registration Time: 12 Noon to 2:00 pm
Event Time: 2:00 to 4:00 pm
