Singletrack
Minds Racing Series
May 7th - August 27th, 2009. 7pm race start Preriding and registration open at 6pm Entering its seventh year, this 17 week
racing series has become a classic. 2008 saw a great increase in popularity for the series, as racers came to mountainview to enjoy the varied courses and laid-back atmosphere. Categories: Super Sport - Not quite as technical as Unlimited, but enough climbing and fast-double track to get a serious workout. Sport - mostly singletrack, without anything too outrageous, this is a fun chance to test your skills, and work on that buttery-smooth flow. Just for Fun - Never raced before? This
is a great place to start! Easy singletrack, mildly rolling terrain,
this gives new riders, as well as younger riders looking for a shorter
race, a chance to get out on knobby tires. Prices: $8 / week...Each additional family member is 7$ / week $115 - Season Pass...Each additional family member is $100 Insurance: Each rider must be a member of the Ontario Cycling Association, and/or hold a valid UCI licence. Riders can purchase a 2008 OCA Citizen Permit, which will insure them for most Ontario events, including the Mountainview 9 Hour, and the Simcoe Dufferin High School Cup. A permit costs $40 for adults, $35 for 17-18 yrs, and $30 for those under 17. New for 2009! OCA one-day permits are available for 5$, for those who aren't quite sure if MTB racing is for them. This fee does not count towards the price of a citizen permit, however. Year End Festivities: A barbeque held after the last race of the season is both the awards ceremony for the race series, as well as the wrap-up party for Mountainview MTB. Come out for some inexpensive 'que, a chance at some draw prizes, a slide show of the years events, and a few laughs with friends. Prizes will be awarded for the series champions.
