Ride901 hosts race days for kids ages 2–10 — balance bikes to big kid bikes, on short courses where parents see everything. Every racer gets a plate, warm-up laps, stickers, and a ribbon. We're starting with race days and growing from there.
Four things, done really well. Everything below is live and bookable this season.
Monthly Saturday race days for ages 2–10 with balance bike, pedal, and adaptive categories. Courses are under half a mile and fully parent-visible. Points add up across the season toward the championship finale.
Register for a roundA 45-minute coached session on race morning before racing starts — braking, cornering, gate-style starts, and race-line basics. The easiest confidence boost in youth sports.
Add to a race entryTwo hours, one course, every guest gets a number plate and a ribbon. We bring the plates, cones, finish arch, and the racing — you bring the cake. Loaner balance bikes available for littles.
Check date availabilityA balance-bike morning for ages 2–5: cone courses, games, and first-pedal tries, run once a month between race days. Small groups so every kid gets coached.

Ride901 is founder-run. That means every race day gets full attention, every course gets walked twice, and nothing launches before it's ready. It also means the best way to help it grow is simple: show up, race, and tell another family.
"I've watched what a bike does for a kid — the confidence, the grit, the friendships. Memphis kids deserve what Bentonville and Birmingham kids already have: a race day built just for them. We're starting with that, doing it right, and building the rest as fast as one person responsibly can."
