One of the most popular events at the Tour of the Gila is watching the stars of the future take on their bicycles, tricycles and sometimes even scooters as kids of all ages take to the streets of historic downtown Silver City during the Downtown Criterium. The employees of 1st New Mexico Bank of Silver City are back this year to organize this town favorite. Registration is from 11:00 am to 12:15 pm at the Hub on the corner of 6th and Bullard streets near the Start/Finish line. Pre-registration can be done prior to May 7 at Gila Hike and Bike at 103 E College Ave or either branch of 1st New Mexico Bank of Silver City. All kids 12 and under race free! $5 for 13-16 year-olds and $10 per person 17 and over. Helmets must be worn and parents or guardians must sign registration for children under the age of 18. Free t-shirts for participants while they last! Podium awards will be held after the races. Bring your bike down and join in the fun – challenge others and battle it out at the citizen races this year!Click edit button to change this text.
