The American Royal announces the world’s largest indoor bike rodeo, to be held in conjunction with their better known equestrian events.
You don’t have to be a kid to participate, in fact some of the top Professional Cyclocrossers will be contesting this unique format.
Similar in style to the indoor cyclocross race in Hasselt, Belgium, The Royal Rodeo will add some more ‘cowboy’ oriented events.
While there will be the usual mass start, ‘cross kind of stuff, the Rodeo will actually be scored ‘all-round’ with riders required to rope calves from bikes, an Individual Time Trial around a barrel course, and the most challenging of all the disciplines; a unicycle ride over an undulating course that will be difficult for any rider to stay on board for the 8 seconds required.
Rumor is major sponsor PBR will have a healthy payout for all categories from little cowpokes to ol’ partners.
