Buzzbee Race action

This Saturday May 22nd the 3rd Buzzbee Bicycle Racing is taking place at the HLSCC grounds.

The Buzzbee Youth Racing Series is an exciting introductory challenge for young riders of all abilities and ages.  There have been over 70 competitors so far in the series.  This free event is open to boys and girls who are under 17 and does not go on any roads.  All equipment is provided.

The racing will be held rain or shine.  Registration with a parent or guardian starts at 11am and the first race starts at 12:30pm sharp.  Each age group will be guaranteed 3 races.   Sign in on time to get in your practice runs.

“With summer just around the corner I have already started organizing summer programs,” said Chris Ghiorse director of BSAFE.  “With these Buzzbee events I am not only looking to see who has talent, but also for students who are truly keen to ride and compete.  Bicycle racing takes a lot of time and energy.  There are a few young riders emerging that have shown me unwavering commitment to the sport and I hope I can keep increasing their desire to ride.  Ultimately someone is going to develop into an accomplished rider capable of representing the BVI abroad.”

Current series leaders are listed.  A full points list will be posted at the next event.  Winners of the series will win a BMX bike worth $400.  Under 8 categories are not eligible for these prizes.  The final is scheduled for Saturday July 10th.
