new fOR 2025:

TUESDAY NIGHT PIR IS BRINGING TRACK BIKES TO THE SCHEDULE! SEE RULES ABOVE FOR BICYCLE RULES.

JUNIOR RACES

Junior races will be ran with a handicap this year. this will give advantage to the the younger and smaller groups and leads to a better competitive ride from both the younger and older juniors. If any group is smaller than 3 riders then they get combined with the next group. If a particular kid is consistently over-performing his/her peers, we move them up an age group. Same for an under-performer moving down. The goal is to get kids into groupings that can function together and learn pack skills to take into the adult categories as they mature.
