2008 Cycle Solutions Ontario Cup DH/4X Race Series
Schedule
Well the year 2008 is upon us and its 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.
