A Mayhem Message:

The 2024 edition of Aistriu Mayhem marked a significant milestone: We celebrated the event's 10th anniversary. Yes, a decade of thrilling Mayhem races!

Reflecting on its beginning, Mayhem emerged when a long-standing event at the camp was discontinued. Drawing upon my background in municipal government administration and emergency management, coupled with an enthusiastic love for bicycling, I took the opportunity to launch Mayhem. Over these past 10 years, personally and professionally, I've experienced many changes, yet amidst this flux, one constant remained - the annual March spectacle of Mayhem. However, the 10th edition also marks my farewell as the event's promoter.

Fret not, Mayhem Faithful. Mayhem will continue in 2025 as the event's promotion transfers to TNT Event Management. TNT has been with the event since its beginning and is primed to ensure its legacy endures. TNT brings over 25 years of event management and endurance sports industry experience to lead Mayhem forward.

For the near future, I will be working in the director's capacity as we transition the event, and while my role may diminish, the ride (pun intended) continues.

I also must give a huge shout-out to a few folks. I extend heartfelt gratitude to my unwavering inner circle, whose dedication and support were instrumental in realizing the race year after year. Without their efforts, Mayhem would not have been possible.
I extend my sincerest thanks to Aistriu, a steadfast sponsor and partner throughout much of the past decade, and to all other sponsors who have supported us over the years.

Lastly, thank you to the participants—both the committed "Mayhem Faithful" and those who came and went along the way. We watched young racers progress over the years, beginners become CAT 2s and CAT 1s… and even two pro elite who went on to win their age categories in the US Nationals for Cyclocross. I appreciate your loyalty, for contributing to the vibrant spirit of Mayhem, and for spreading the joyous chaos everywhere.

I look forward to seeing racers at the start line in March 2025!

Spread the Mayhem!

With gratitude - Chris

Happy Monday, Aistriu Mayhem Faithful.

We can offer one more trail maintenance pre-ride day this coming Sunday between 8:30a and 11:30a (weather permitting). As in the past, we will meet onsite and do a bit of trail clearing (mostly raking) followed by a guided pre-ride. After the guided pre-ride, you are free to do additional laps.

There are 10 spots available. Please email me your full name and date of birth, as the Camp requires it. Send info to [email protected] no later than Thursday morning, 3/7/2024, by 10 AM.

There will be no exceptions to the deadline.

Thank you.

Hello, Aistriu Mayhem Faithful.

To remind you, the Y Camp is a closed venue. Those wanting to pre-ride must contact the camp directly and follow their process. This is not up for debate.

If there is a trail work and pre-ride day for the course, it will be announced here.

Thank you.

Summer Camps, Retreats, Family Programs, Child Care. Over 800 acres in Medford, New Jersey providing year-round access to nature, adventure and fun.

Good day Aistriu Mayhem Faithful. In a short few weeks, the 10th annual race will be upon us. Those who know the venue and plan to preride be aware that part of the course is closed. Please do not ride around the closure. The closure will impact the course for the race. We are working on alternatives which will significantly change parts of the course than years past. We hope to map it in the next week or so.

Also, preriders should reach out the YMCA of the Pines camp directly for permission.

Thank you.
