Mini Mayhem is a brand new course that will be constructed by coaches and guides from CycleActive within the Main Arena at this year's Mountain Mayhem even, designed specifically for young riders. There�ll be ramps, rumble strips, skinnies, limbo bars and more � all designed to provide a safe challenge and lots of fun. The course will be open all day Saturday from 10am to 4pm with skills coaching sessions being run every half hour by the CycleActive instructors. These are sessions are designed to mix great learning with great fun, as they�re shown how to ride better, safer and smoother so they really get the most out of the course.

On completion of the training (which takes around 25 minutes) children will be given a Mini Mayhem number board which entitles them to come back any time the course is open to practice. Every child who completes the training will be invited to a special ceremony at 4:30pm Saturday on the main stage where they will be awarded certificate and medal to show their achievements. There will also be a draw to win one of three Giant bikes.

On Sunday the course will be open and supervised between 10am and 1pm, so any child who has a number board can come back and ride whenever they wish. The Mini Mayhem concept came from Chris Ford, the founder of CycleActive.

"Kids love to play on their bikes, and they love new challenges, so a course like this is the perfect place for them to have a go and have fun,"he explained. "My own boys came to Mayhem last year and just riding round the arena, feeling like part of something big, made them feel great. This takes it to a whole new level � they�re going to love it!"
