Plastiglas Ontario Cup #2 Albion Hills Conservation Area May 9, 2010

Notice Updated May 8, 5 pm by Chico - Looking good for great racing tomorrow. We have taken out gnarly berms (possibly Wall of Pain), however the rest of the course is holding up very well. Due to the low water table this spring the rain has been draining and we got some good wind today. We did work on the IMBA Trail and a few others capping them with sand for extra grip. Course conditions will probably be slippery in a few areas, but it should be a very good and fast course for tomorrow. Thanks to the fact we didn't have many pre-riders riding in the rain today the course held up very well and actually improved as pre-riders road it when it was dry. Looking very good considering the amount of rain we got! No reason not to race. Adam, Chico 2010 Online Registration Open Ontario Cup Pricing Structure (PDF) Pre-registration closes one week prior the event. Event day registration is available prior the event (cost is $10 more than pre-reg price). Close to Toronto, Fun Course! The GTA's most popular race venue once again plays host to the second stop on the Ontario Cup circuit. A great mix of trails, some epic climbs and a rider and spectator-friendly venue cap off a fantastic day at Albion. The Course With a recent trail improvement initiative expect some even faster, more flowing singletrack in addition to a fabulous network of open trails and climbs. 11:30am and 1:30pm riders will face off on the Green Monster, a punishing granny-gear slog with no pitch changes for over a minute! Pre-riding The course will be pre-marked for Wednesday, May 5, and will be easily navigable through Saturday. Standard park fees apply for all pre-riders, while park entry is included for racers only on the day of the event. Accommodations at Albion Hills Map, Directions, and Accommodation info!
