2008 Cycle Solutions Ontario Cup DH/4X Race Series Schedule

Feb 11, 2008
by Tyler Maine  
Well the year 2008 is upon us and it's time to ramp it up again as the first stop on the O-Cup DH schedule is only a few months away.

The 2008 Cycle Solutions Ontario Cup DH and 4X Race series presented by Commencal Bicycles will have some great new additions, including the following:1. New Minime age group! Now those turning 13 by Dec 31 2008 can race DH in Ontario. Also to help these younger riders get into the sport I will be reducing their fees to $25 when pre-registered online.

2. Streamlined online registration. The OCA will have all Ontario Cups registering at their site www.ontariocycling.org. So please go there to pre-register for both practice and race days.

3. DH Commissaire course, March 29-30, $75. Become a MTB commissaire at this 2 day course and then come and help out at races, hey you even get paid! www.ontariocycling.org for more information

4. MTB coaching courses. In order to keep our sport going strong and begin to develop talented riders we need more coaches. We will be holding a Level 1 coaching course hopefully in March, keep your eyes on www.sirbikealotracing.com for more information.

5. Sirbikealot Racing plans to introduce Ontario's first skills clinics in 2008, they will be designed to help riders of all abilities. Costs will be kept to a minimum to help allow anyone be a part of this great initiative. Keep your eyes peeled for dates!

6. Sirbikealot Racing negotiated lower 1 day licence fees. They will be $10 when you pre-register at www.ontariocycling.org or $20 at the race. Only one 1-day licence can be used per year per rider.

7. The TBA DH venues will be announced soon as we are shuffling dates with a prospective new venue.

8. 4X Series is a go! I am awaiting some developments on a possible new 4X venue and will release the dates asap.

May 3/4 – DH #1 - Kelso
June 14/15 - DH #2 - TBA
June 28/29 - DH #3 - TBA

 Thought the deal was that they were going to give us more races this year?.... Sure doesn't look that way to me....

 Man you have to remember that some provinces don't even have a series, let alone 6 races in a series. You should be more than greatful for what the crew of organizers out there have set up for this year.

 Well at the OCA meeting evryone was on board with add more races this year now that Blue Mountain is offering the hill and the lift to us now(Beacuse ontario had nowhere like that to race before last year)... Also that more races would mean lower race fees for everyone. I thought this was already worked out, guess not.

 is this the same thing as the Ontario Cup XC series? is so im going in all of them- but its not just XC its a combination of alot of different styles of trailriding...

 Nothing at Calabogie?

 you'll never see bogie on the list again...they want too much money to hold a race there...apparently they get like 12000 per weekend to host weddings so they want something equivalent...which is just unrealistic for an O-cup race to generate that much just to pay the hill...

 that friggen sux though cuz that would be a SICK stop for the o-cup... and in my oppinion we need something like that because Kelso and horseshoe just arent exacly the best

(and dont be bitchen at me for sayin that cuz i do understand that we are lucky to have what we do for d/h but its still true)
