The Chamber was honored to be a part of Tri-City BMX Track ribbon cutting for a new, digital sign in memory of Bobby Iovinella, a pro rider for many years, and the celebration of the track’s 40th season.
Family, friends, BMX bikers, racers and enthusiasts as well as elected officials were on hand to participate in the event. A race was held in Bobby’s honor and the track was rededicated in his name for this season. The event was a day of family fun with racing, a food truck, and Kona Ice, as well as entertainment by the band, Happy Daze.
Tri-City BMX is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization located in the Town of Rotterdam that has been a part of the community since 1981.
Did you know that BMX is an Olympic sport? It has been since 2008 and will be part of the 2020 Olympics in Japan (which are being held July 23 – August 8, 2021). BMX is a family friendly sport and riders range in age from 2 – 65+ yrs old. In BMX, all skill levels are welcome – no one ever sits on a bench and families can enjoy the sport together.
Tri-City BMX is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from May-Oct. For more information visit www.usabmx.com/tracks/1889
All ribbon cuttings are sponsored by Saratoga National Bank & Trust Company.
