Bike Rodeo     11/13/04
November 13, Bicycle Rodeo, Kissena Park -

An afternoon about bicycling - Although it was cool the Pathfinder
District Bicycle Rodeo proceeded as planned. The afternoon was
spent learning about and competing in events with bicycles.

The event was held at the newly renovated Kissena velodrome, one
of the few public racetracks in the north east. The afternoon started
with clinics on maintenance and safety and soon was followed by
competitive events - 100 yard dash - 50 yard slow race - 100 yard
slalom - the mile - and a 7 mile trail event along the Greenway.

The last Bike Rodeo was held almost 40 years ago. Should this
become a popular activity it may become an annual event.
