Kids of Mud is the official youth cycling program for the Manitoba Cycling Association. This is a cycling skills development program, unfortunately not a learn to ride program. Kids wanting to join the program must be able to ride independently, can use hand breaks and know how to shift gears. We do ride off road, on trails for up to one hour. 

Ride dates are as follows: May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, June 7, 14, 21 from 6:30-7:30pm

Children between the ages of 6 - 13 years are welcome. Kids wishing to get involved must have a helmet, (must be ANSI/SNELL/CSPC approved) a mountain bike with hand brakes and gears.

Training with Kids of Mud includes safety, braking, gears, hills, riding over small and large obstacles, trail riding, and more.

Your Cycling Helmet should be a cycling helmet (SNELL/CSPC/ANSI approved) is mandatory at all Kids of Mud events, for kids and adults. The helmet should sit squarely on your head, covering the upper half of the forehead, two fingers above the brow line. The fit should be snug, but not so tight that it is uncomfortable. Adjust the chin strap so that the straps form a symmetrical V ending under the earlobe on each side of the head. You should be able to fit only one or two fingers between the strap and the underside of the chin.

A Mantoba Cycling Association Membership is required for all participants.
