🖤❤️💚 BPR'S SECOND SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED - HERE IS A QUICK RECAP OF 2026...TIME TO BUILD FOR AN EVEN BIGGER 2027 💚❤️🖤

What a year for BPR! From local podiums to some of gravel and mountain biking’s toughest endurance challenges, our team showed up, put in the work, and represented BikeWorld Performance Racing all season long.

🔥 A FEW 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

🏆 Southern Illinois Grand Prix — BPR claimed 3 of the 5 overall podium spots!

🚵 Mountain Bike Racing — Hailey Kell took 1st in Expert Women and Kevin Bohanon took 1st in Expert Men at Dragon’s Back. Zack Wilkins and Austin Hines also landed on the podium at Catalyst XC.

⏱️ Endurance Grit — Josh Yopp won the 6 Hours of Capital View. Nate Jones followed a 2nd-place finish at Klaus Park Klash with a strong Leadville Trail 100 MTB finish in 9:05:59.

🌾 Gravel Miles — From Unbound to Big Sugar, our riders took on long days, tough courses, and plenty of gravel. At Big Sugar, Dustin Burkeen cracked the overall top 100, and Misty Bohanon finished 4th in her age group in the 100-mile race.

❤️ Giving Back — Through the Misaligned Minds Bicycle Tour, BPR presented $1,000 checks to three local mountain bike teams for the second consecutive year, with 100% of donations supporting the teams. Investing in the future of cycling matters just as much as racing.

Behind every result are the training miles, early mornings, mechanicals, setbacks, sacrifices, and teammates who keep showing up for one another.

To our riders, families, sponsors, supporters, and everyone who helped make this season happen: THANK YOU. You are what make this team special.

We’re proud of what we accomplished in 2026—and we’re already looking forward to what’s next.

Same crew. More miles. See you in 2027. 🔥

❤️ BPR GIVES BACK — SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF MOUNTAIN BIKERS 🚵‍♂️

For the second year in a row, BikeWorld Performance Racing is proud to support the local mountain biking community through proceeds from the Misaligned Minds Bike Tour and generous community donations.

This year, we presented $1,000 checks to each of three local composite mountain bike teams:

🚵 Livingston Composite Mountain Bike Team — $1,000
🚵 McCracken County Mountain Bike Team — $1,000
🚵 Marshall County Mountain Bike Team — $1,000

That’s $3,000 going directly toward supporting young riders and helping grow the sport we all love!

We believe cycling is about more than racing. It’s about building community, creating opportunities, and helping the next generation discover the challenges, friendships, and rewards that come with life on two wheels.

A huge thank-you to everyone who participated in the Misaligned Minds Bike Tour and contributed to this effort. Your support makes this possible, and we're proud to continue this tradition for a second year.

Stronger communities. More kids on bikes. A better future for our sport.

What a series for BikeWorld Performance Racing at the Southern Illinois Grand Prix! 🚵‍♂️🔥

BPR riders claimed 3 of the 5 podium positions in the overall series standings, putting the team on the podium more often than anyone else.

A great result that reflects the consistency, competitiveness, and hard work our riders brought throughout the series.

Congratulations Zach, Austin and Kevin! 👏

That’s a wrap on the 2026 SoIL Grand Prix!
After six races across gravel, MTB and road, our first season is officially in the books.

Final Top 5:
1st - Zach Wilkins - 157
2nd - Austin Hines - 149
3rd - Barry Parks - 149
4th Kevin Bohannon - 143
5th Gabriel Arnone - 117

Zach held onto the top spot through the final round to become our 2026 SoIL Grand Prix overall winner!

Austin and Barry finished the scored series tied at 149 points after their drop races were applied. For the tiebreaker, we went back to total points earned across all events, where Austin had the advantage, giving him 2nd overall and Barry 3rd.

Thanks to everyone who raced this year, whether you made one event or lined up across multiple disciplines. The whole idea behind this series was to get people racing different bikes, on different terrain, with people they might not normally race against.

Also a big thanks to everyone who organized, volunteered, sponsored, or helped with any of the six races. We couldn't have a series without the individual events and the people behind them.

Year one is done. We learned a few things, had some good racing, rode with friends and already have some ideas for next year!

Thanks for being part of the first SoIL Grand Prix. See you in 2027.

Today, the BikeWorld Performance Racing team joins the cycling community in mourning the tragic loss of two members of the Milligan University cycling team.

There are no easy words for a loss like this. Our hearts are with their teammates, coaches, friends, families, and the entire Milligan University community as they navigate an unimaginable loss.

Cycling is a community built on shared miles, shared challenges, and shared passion. In moments like this, that community comes together to support one another. We stand with the Milligan cycling team and everyone who knew and loved these two young people.

Our deepest condolences to their families, teammates, coaches, and the administration and broader community at Milligan University. Please know that the cycling community is grieving alongside you and holding you in our thoughts.

Ride together. Stand together.

LEADVILLE TRAIL 100 — DONE. 🏔️🚵‍♂️

Nate Jones took on the Leadville Trail 100 MTB last Saturday and crossed the finish line in 9:05:59 — an outstanding result at one of the most demanding mountain bike races out there.

After using the Klaus Park Klash XC race as his final tune-up, Nate put all the preparation to the test on the 100-mile course through the Colorado Rockies. 100 miles, big climbs, high elevation, and a long day in the saddle — and he got it done.

The entire BikeWorld Performance Racing team is proud of Nate and the work he put in to get to this starting line and across that finish line.

Great ride, Nate. 9:05:59 at Leadville is one to be proud of! 👏
