PTCBMX is proud to host the Peach National (a category 2 Team Spectacular event) in Peachtree City March 18-20. Approximately 500 riders from all over the USA will be racing.

Saul Raisin, a former professional cyclist, signed copies of his book, “Tour de Life: From Coma to Competition,” at Bicycles Unlimited in Peachtree City last Saturday.

The 11th annual Tour of Faith is coming up on Aug. 14. This year’s ride will benefit Wellspring Living.

A record 197 riders, 53 motos, turned out for the Georgia State Qualifier #3 held at Peachtree City BMX June 20.  It was an action packed day with record temperatures, superb racing and a record 11 teams competing for the day.  The state championship will be held in Albany, Ga. Oct. 3.  This was also a great opportunity for riders to dial in the track prior to the  Southeast Regional  hosted by Peachtree City BMX July 24-26.  Admission is free.

On Apr. 18, Christopher Fort, 14, of Fayetteville, bowled his first perfect score of 300 while participating in the Junction Junior League Bowling at Junction Lanes in Newnan.
