EXPERIENCE THE SPECIALIZED CACTUS CUP AT MOUNTAIN BIKE CAMP

Kids ages 6 – 12 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. 

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 must remain on park property and will provide cell number to guides as well as sign waiver upon drop off.

Drop off is at The Exhale Kids Zone (Pump Track). Guides will break kids into groups by age and ability for skill building and trail riding with some desert education mixed in.

Kids need to have 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. Desert Bunch will have some bikes and helmets to borrow for those that are traveling in, please make prior reservation via email

Camp Runs 8:30am – 1:30pm

Guides

Kids will be under the watchful eye of a  guide for the duration and will remain in and around The Cactus Cup main venue.

Guides

Kids MUST come to camp with:

  • Water in a hydration backpack plus extra water bottle labeled with their name
  • Snacks AND a bagged lunch labeled with their name. Riders get hungry and we will take frequent brakes to ensure everyone is properly fueled

Expectations

All campers must stay with their guide and group. Campers may NOT go to their RV/Campground for lunch. If a camper leaves the group parents will be notified and the camper may NOT return to camp.

Camper fee includes

  • 5 Hours of camp while you catch a ride or relax
  • First Aid Certified Desert Guide hosting the class
  • Cactus Cup T-shirt and sling bag

(Optional) Kids Bike Race

@ 2:00! The official Kids Race will be held at 2:30pm.  Register separately if you would like to participate. Guides may facilitate pre-rides of the race course during camp.
