A mistake was noted on the Thursday Night Series page. The finale is Sept 2nd, not August 26th as suggested. Hope you can make it to the race!

Thanks to everyone who came out to this year’s edition of the 9 hour. Without your participation, the event would be really lonely! Hope to see you next year…results are posted here. Registration for the 2010 Mountainview 9 Hour is now Open! Go to the 9 hour events page to register. Sign up by July 30 for Early Bird discounts! All things considered, the trails at Mountainview are in shockingly good condition, and a quick cleanup of downed branches was all that was needed. With that in mind, tonights race is a go! Note that as of this writing, Hwy 93 is still closed between Hwy 12 and Balm Beach Road, and a section of King St. is also closed. Please leave yourselves a few extra minutes to detour around. Also, the lights on Hwy 93 are still out nearing Mountainview, please use caution and treat these intersections with care. All that said, looking forward to seeing everyone out to race! Hi Everyone, As you probably have heard, Midland was hit last night with a tornado, or something close to it. First off, here is hoping that everyone made it through the crazy weather yesterday evening without any injuries or property damage. The storm is reported to have tracked directly over Mountainview. We will head in to the hill shortly to do a trail inspection. If they are in particularly bad shape, we will cancel tonight’s (June 24) race. Also, if highway 93 and 12 remain closed, we will also need to cancel the race. Stay tuned to this website, as an update will be posted by 3pm with our decision. Cheers, TMAS The Thursday Night Series results from June 3 are up here. The course went from wet and slick to tacky and fast, leading to a great race! Check out lap times to prep your mind for the weekend! May 27 results and updated series points coming soon… Congratulations to Monsignor Castex for winning the school championship for the second year in a row! Also congratulations to all of the individual winners. Full results will be posted shortly. A quick thanks to everyone who contributed to the Big Bike event in support of the Heart & Stroke Foundation! The MCC team raised over $1500, and set a course record of ten minutes for the big bike ride. Way to go team!
For all the people who came out to ride, and all our donors, THANKYOU! Last Thursday was the kick-off for the Mountainview Thursday Night Racing Series. Results are now posted. The road race events this series are open to and can be enjoyed by all, because they are ability-handicapped – usually in a way that ensures that elite riders never win. The format is technically called an Australian Pursuit – (no, not Aussie Rules) – and is designed to bring out the best in all of us, in terms of both collaboration and deviousness. There will be 4 to 5 groups that will start at intervals. Typically there are 40 to 60 riders at each event. The fastest riders start in the last group, and must catch and pass all to be successful. The initial intent is that the strong riders are more tired by the time they catch up to the next groups, and the level of competition is equalized. Race distances vary from 60 to 80 km. There are no race prizes, however points are accumulated for the entire series, and prizes are awarded at the last race for the top 15-20 riders. The interclub series for 2010 will be sponsored by the Barrie Cycling Club, Newmarket Eagles Cycling Club and Mountainview Cycling Club. First Interclub – Sunday May 2, at Oro Start Time: 10 am Cost: $5 per race plus appropriate club membership. For Mountainview riders this requires club membership PLUS either a Citizen Permit or UCI License. Citizen permits can be purchased through the club at this weeks club ride on Monday (Copeland) or Tuesday (Mountainview), or at the Thursday night race at Mountainview. Location: Park at the Oro Fairgrounds. Travel south on Hwy 93 to Old Barrie Road (at Dalston). Turn Left and take Old Barrie Road to Line 7 (about 2k after passing Hardwood Hills).Turn right on Line 7, and take it to Oro Fairgrounds (at the intersection of 15/16 Line). Try to register before 9:30 so the groups can be organized. Course: will travel west on 15/16, then north on Line 4, then East on Old Barrie Road, then South on Line 7 to finish at the fairgrounds. The race will run 4 or 5 laps. Interclub Schedule Sunday May 2 Oro Short Saturday June 12 Lafontaine (our race to organize) Sunday June 27 Beeton Sunday July 18 Moonstone / Vasey (our race to organize) Sunday August 15 Epping Sunday September 19 Hardwood Hills Thanks, |
