Mansfield Ontario Cup June 10/11 - Update

We have been receiving lots of requests about pre-rides of the cross country course for the OCUP on June 11. We expect to finish rough course marking by early Saturday so pre-rides will be possible by the latest Saturday afternoon. The course has some new sections of trail including a drop from the highest point of the property down to the finish area. We are affectionately calling this new trail “Exit Wound”. Hope you like it. The Mansfield Outdoor Centre is open for public riding on Saturday and Sunday only from 8:30am to 5pm. The course map will be posted on our web site by Saturday morning.

For those who want to try it at race speed, the MOC Tuesday Night Series kicks off on June 6th using the OCUP course. Cost is $12 per night and there is a race series discount available. The race starts at 7pm sharp.

Pre-registration has been very strong. The great Bruzer t-shirts are almost all accounted for. If you want to get one you better register soon. Registration forms are available on the W.O.W. web site at www.wowmtb.com. The pre-registration discount closes at 6pm on Monday June 5th.

We are also pleased to announce that Cameron’s Brewing will be at the DH and XC with their fine products. Check out their Auburn Ale after you race. See you there!
