Cycle Solution O-Cup #3 Race Report, Super D and DH presented by Lapierre bikes

Hello hello
what an amazing weekend, our biggest race in Ontario's history, 24 degrees and sunny, plus a brand new Super D course with a little more technical thrown in for good measure. This course started out with some classic single track, some rocky outcroppings and then led into the lower old DH course with a huge rock garden section that tested all followed by a new snakes and ladders filled with bar height berms!

Cycle Solutions DH#2 Race Report by Lapierre bikes

The second stop in the 2009 DH series took us to the fabled Heights of Horseshoe, the only location in Ontario to ever host a Canada Cup Nationals DH race. This year would prove to test the riders with a brand new lower course (thanks Shane and crew). Filled with big berms, ruts and wide open fast flat turns, you needed to have some serious bike skills to complete this course with a winning time in any category!

Heights of Horseshoe is a storied location, once the location of the only Canada Cup DH race held in Ontario. This course has turned into a perennial favorite due to its unique loamy and sandy soil. Everyone has an opinion on which tires to use here, so what will you choose!

Cycle Solutions Super D/DH#1 Race Report by Lapierre bikes

Published May 4, 2009 at 18:20
Source: Peter Appleton, Sirbikealot Racing

The first stop on the Cycle Solutions O-Cup DH/Super D series was off the hook, posting the second largest race in Ontario’s History. A mix of sun and clouds kept the Super D course buffed as the inaugural event took place. The course was a mix of super fast and flowy sections with some rocks and jumps thrown in for good measure. All of the competitors had smiles from ear to ear (if they weren’t picking their lung up from off the ground, haha) and said this was the perfect start for Super D in Ontario

Where: Kelso Conservation Area (Milton, ON), May 2nd and 3rd

Well the birds are singing, the snow has melted (well most of it) and it's time to get dirty! As with every O-Cup DH season we kick it off at Kelso in Milton, Ontario. This time honored venue is close to the GTA and always has the biggest crowds. Racers are excited to see friends, compare their new bikes and best of all, see who's been training hard in the off season.

Cycle Solutions O-Cup DH#4 Pre Race Report, Camp Fortune July 19/20

I have received tons of emails from both Ontario and Quebec, this will be a sanctioned race in Quebec and Ontario this weekend and will hopefully lead to the 2009 Ontario/Quebec DH Challenge!

Finally the answer everyone has been waiting for....What Course??? What Course??? Well Matt Woods and his amazing trail crew have created a whole new jump section on last years Provincial Championships course, so this should provide some excellent flow at the start of the course and lead into some of the more demanding technical sections lower down.

The legend that was the Canada Cup DH course in 1999 is no longer, alas a new creation has been formed! A hardworking trail crew has created a NEW COURSE for Horseshoe that will be like nothing else seen on the O-Cup circuit, steep chutes, off camber, high speed wide wood sections, multiple lines, drops, jumps and of course the Snake pit. This is a course reminiscent of the mid section parts of bigger Canada Cups.
