There is nothing like the first Ontario Cup race of the season. All that pent up desire to get out your new bike, see your old riding buddies, check out everyone’s new kits and of course put down some rubber. For over 10 yrs the Cycle Solutions Ontario Cup presented by Lapierre bikes has been calling Glen Eden ski area home to the kickoff race of the year, yes its small with limited vertical but hey its Ontario and looking at these pics its obvious you could be anywhere with a course this fun!
The course is a mix of rock gardens and drops with a soupcon of hippy flowing jumps thrown in for good measure. With the weather improving with plenty of wind and sun the track began to dry up into a perfect mix of tacky clay and sand, some serious times were about to be laid down.
The Adrenaline racer/To Wheels team raced amazing landing on the podium 7 times and adding 8 other top ten finishes for the race!!!
Newest additions represented terrifically with Kristen Courtney Winning the womens class, Jeremy Espaniel 3rd in JrX, Adam Robbins 2nd in Mini Me and Colin Thompson 7th Senior Ex. Big Props to Brad Zdriluk for his 4th place podium in his 1st Elite Race on board Elka suspenion.
Big thanks to all the team sponsors: Adrenalineracer, To Wheels, Elka Suspenion, Vans Shoes and Pac Clothing
Next weekend the team travels to Barrie, Ontario for the 2nd round of the Ontario Cup!!
See you at the races
