- Do you remember how intimidating it was to line up for your FIRST bike race?
- Do you remember the person who shepherded you to that first start line?
- The most intimidating part of starting the bike race journey is lining up at one’s first event!
Bring a new rider to their first race and the WSBA will reimburse BOTH of your entry fees after the event has occurred.
Details:
