Welcome to the PTC BAWLS BMX team website.

We decided to start a team to compete in the GA state series on the drive down to Albany for their Bob Warnicke scholarship race on 14th April. We made some phonecalls and we started building a team! On 21 April we arrived at the Albany State Qualifier, handed out the jerseys and 9 riders raced for BAWLS that day!

BAWLS has promised our team product, so we are looking for (financial) sponsors to help out with the team and rider expenses. Email Anthony
