THIS WEEK AT CORNWALL BMX
-
Gate Practice: Wednesday from 5:30PM to sundown
-
Local Single Point Race: Sunday from 12:15PM
Don't forget that we’ve teamed-up with Nepean BMX and Kingston BMX to maximize the opportunities for riders to compete in the District Point Series on the weekends. Racers will now have the chance to compete in 3 races on the weekends. Saturdays in Nepean, and Sundays at Kingston and Cornwall! We’ve pushed back our Sunday Racing Schedule by 3 hours and Kingston is moving there’s up by a half-hour so you’ll have the chance to squeeze two races into one day!
FREE PUBLIC USE
As always, we do our best to leave the track open for the public to enjoy for free when we're not hosting our events but riders must remember that they do so at their own risk! We're also a non-profit organization that is completely run by volunteers, so there may be times when the track is inaccessible due extenuating or other circumstances. You should also keep in mind that the track is unsupervised but also under video surveillance. Call 911 in case of an emergency, and always wear your helmet and remove any pegs, kickstands, chain guards, and protruding reflectors from your bike before going on the track.
NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES OF ANY KIND ARE PERMITTED ON THE TRACK OR IN THE TRACK AREA WITHIN THE FENCE! This includes RC cars, passenger cars, trucks, electric bikes, motorcycles, ATVs, Side-By-Sides, and scooters. Remember, we have cameras and we're not afraid to use them.
STAY OFF THE TRACK IF THE GATES ARE CLOSED OR IF IT'S RAINING, OR IF THE TRACK IS WET! This causes severe damage to the track that must be repaired by our volunteers.
