Overview & Schedule
Ontario Cup registration will open March 1, 2012.
Custom designed singletrack for all abilities equals an uber FUN course! Course is designed as a wet weather course with lots of drainage.
Pre-registration closes May 9. Event day registration is available on site.
The Course
This course is designed for wet weather with lots of drainage. This new race venue promises an even better course than 2011! The dramatic ridge provides the backbone for the totally custom designed made-for-racing course. Riders can expect a course with some steep climbs, and descents, as well as lots of flowy mountain bike singletrack. For 2012, we've added a technical up-and-down singletrack section, and changed the overall direction of the course.
Pre-Riding
This is private property with no plans to open for daily riding. Pre-riding will be available Thursday, May 10th & Friday May 11th, from 4 PM until dusk, and after 12:00pm Saturday (due to a trail run event). Please respect the landowners' privacy and stay off the property at all other times. A pre-ride fee of $5 applies to all pre-riding and will be payable at the gate. Be sure to bring your UCI/OCA License or Citizen Permit to be insured to ride the race course. Riders without either an OCA license or Citizen Permit must complete a liability waiver.

10:00 am or 11:45 am (depending on age) Try-An-Ocup or Sport Level Categories are for riders with a good mountain bike experience base and probably some experience racing.
