Ontario Cup #1 Dagmar Ski Resort

The mountain bike racing season kicks off with a beautiful weekend of racing at one of Ontario's classic venues.The x-country course won't be a walk in the park, but you can expect a fast hammer-fest typical of the classic season-openers.

Saturday is fun-filled with short track racing and pre-riding with all the x-country events taking place on Sunday (event day registration is available).

Sugoi Under 17 Program Encouraging Racing

This program, sponsored by Sugoi Clothing, offers one free Ontario Cup race for any youth under the age of 17, provided they have a citizen permit and did not earn an Ontario Cup point in any Ontario Cup race in 2003.

Young riders are limited to any 9 am Ontario Cup XC race, and come race day should first go to the OCA table to take advantage of this great participation incentive.
