Not so white Hodag BMX-Mas

A recent warm spell kept the Hodag BMX Club’s annual BMX-Mas race from having its usually snowy appeal as the third annual event took place Saturday, Dec. 9 at the Hodag BMX track. The club has made it a point — snow or shine —to race on the final Saturday that riders can accumulate USABMX points for the current season each of the last few years.
