The Bicycle Works Mountain Bike Race series is set to begin on January 6 with the Dockyard to Ferry Reach event opening the season for the third time.The series will consist of eight races at a number of tracks, including Coney Island. The top six results will count towards the racers’ overall score.This year, Fat Tire Massive and Bicycle Works have partnered with the Family Centre Cycle for Change programme.Martha Dismont, Executive Director of Family Centre said: "We held our first family cycling event, Cycle for Change on Saturday, November 17. This event provided families the opportunity to cycle along the Bermuda Railway Trail, spend quality time and take part in a meaningful event.“We were very pleased to meet the very enthusiastic Fat Tire Massive Mountain Biking Group, and equally as excited about their passion to help raise funds for our families during this time of the year. It is very heartwarming to learn they decided to support us."Next month’s event will see cyclists race over a 22-mile course from Dockyard to Ferry Reach Park using the entire length of Bermuda's railway trail and parks system.More information on the event, interested riders can go to www.fattiremassive.com.Meanwhile, the fourth event in the Tokio Millenium Youth Mountain Bike Series will be held on January 5 at the Arboretum.The series, sponsored by Tokio Millennium Re and Bicycle Works, and sanctioned by Bermuda Bicycle Association (BBA), aims to introduce primary school aged children to cycling as a way to help promote physical fitness and healthy lifestyles.The races are divided into categories so that the youngsters can participate with children their own age.Children are free to use any kind of bicycle, including training wheels or without pedals, but must bring their own helmet and have their parent/guardian sign a waiver in order to participate.For more information on the event, visit www.tokiomillennium.com or visit the Facebook page at Tokio Youth.
