 Children love to ride bikes — it’s safe to say it’s a proven fact. The 14th Annual Tour de Nez, a celebration of all things cycling in the Reno/Tahoe area, is expanding their popular Biggest Little Kid’s Bike Race into three days of bicycle style “drag racing” where every child brings home a medal and gets to ride alongside the nation’s biggest names in cycling.
Taking place in Reno, Tahoe City and Truckee, The Biggest Little Kid’s Bike Race is divided into three age categories and follows part of the pro course. The races will begin in Truckee, CA on June 22nd, followed by the second race along the shores of Lake Tahoe, CA on June 23rd and end in downtown Reno, NV on June 24th. Children can participate in one or all three of the races and every participant is awarded a medal at the end of the race.
“The Tour de Nez’s Biggest Little Kids Bike Race, one of the largest in the country, is now turning into a three days of drag racing,” said promoter and Race Supreme Commander Tim Healion. “We are really excited to present to these youngsters an opportunity to participate in a series of their own. Like the Pro Omnium, we are going to give them an opportunity to race this as a series or just as individual races.”
The Tour de Nez is dedicated to incorporating family events and activities into the three-day celebration of cycling. The pro series will be complimented by century rides, bike clinics, a clunker classic and enthusiast’s events throughout the celebration.
