EXPERIENCE THE SPECIALIZED CACTUS CUP AT MOUNTAIN BIKE CAMP

Kids ages 6 – 11 can join the fun…

The Specialized Cactus Cup is about family, tradition and competition and our collective goal is to grow the mountain bike community.

We have joined forces with our good friend and professional cycling coach; Scott Givens and Pedal Therapy to elevate this incredible opportunity for kids to experience a real skills camp and riding lessons. In addition, this allows parents to be able to race the XC event. As parents ourselves we know that usually only one parent can race at a time while the other stays behind.  We are here to solve that problem! Drop the kids and grab a ride!  Race in an XC event, ride on your own or just get a nap in! *Parents will provide cell number to coaches at drop off.

Drop off is at the Kids Zone and the Pedal Therapy tent which at the Pump Track. Coaches will break kids into groups by age and ability for skill building and trail riding.

Kids need to have some riding ability. No training wheels as it’s too difficult with our desert conditions. Campers will stay within the venue and park area utilizing the pump track and nearby trails. Bring your own bike and helmet.

Preliminary Details:

  • Camp drop-off begins at 8:30am at the KIDS ZONE. This is a tent located near the pump track in the main venue
  • A parent must check-in with coahes at the Kids Zone to sign their child in as well as leave a cell phone number
  • Kids Swag Bags may be picked up at Packet Pick up on Friday OR receive your swag bag at Camper Check-In saturday morning
  • A full medical team is onsite
  • Entry into the park is $10 if you are just coming for the day
  • Parking is in the Four Peaks parking lot which is across the street from the main venue. It is a short walk (or ride) from the parking lot to the main venue. There is no parking within the main venue.

Kids need to bring:

  • Bike (no training wheels allowed due to the terrain)
  • Helmet
  • Wear Tennis shoes
  • Water – preferably as a camelback/hydration backpack. Or a water bottle inside a backpack
  • Snacks – bring some, we will have some on hand as well
  • Lunch – campers will stop for  a group lunch. All campers must have their own packed lunch 
  • A big smile! Coaches are working hard to host an awesome day of camp. Campers that exhibit disruptive or rude behavior or do not stay with the group will have parents called and will need to be picked up.
