Kentucky at the National Bicycle League’s Grand National event on Labor Day weekend. The journey will take them to 25 of the NBL's BMX tracks in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Parents, Jason and Tammy, will ride with their home-schooled 12-year-old BMX daughter, Neva, the "BMX Diva". Neva has been racing since the age of four. She was the 9 Girls champion at the 2007 USA Championships and competed in the World Championships in Victoria, British Columbia that same year.
On their website (www.ridethenation.org), they refer to themselves as two “fat forty-somethings” and a “moody 12-year-old”. They hope their endeavor will inspire others to try cycling, a low-impact exercise suitable for most any age and athletic ability. They will be keeping a blog on their website, so be sure follow their progress throughout the summer.
The Warrens would like to thank those who have donated their time and money to help sponsor their trip: Tampa BMX, Comfort Inns & Suites, J&R Bicycles, Ohio Dreams, Smoothie King of Wesley Chapel, FL, BMXmania.com, Riderz Ready Jerseys, the National Bicycle League and Schwalbe Tires.
