FAQ
What can I expect?
Different weekly courses, timed results, draw prizes, and a great night with fellow mountain bike riders. Race course laps will be approximately 4-5 km in length and different categories will complete between 1 and 3 laps.
What if I’ve never raced before?
Weekly series races are many riders’ first racing experience. For some, it’s the challenge to cross the line first, for others it’s making improvements from week to week, and some it’s just a group ride with some competition thrown in. Regardless of your skill level the emphasis is having fun. If you are feeling fast, you might find a few HMBA board members ready to accept your challenge.
What do I need to race?
To race you’ll need a mountain bike in good working order, helmet, and a Provincial Racing License from Ontario Cycling (see below).
I’m a HMBA member, do I need an Ontario Cycling license?
Races are sanctioned by Ontario Cycling and therefore a license is required. This provides insurance for participants and organizers. With a Provincial Race license, you’ll also be able to participate in other races in Ontario. When you register for your first race, you will be reminded to purchase a license as part of the process. HMBA is not an an Ontario Cycling Affiliated Club, so “No Affiliation” can be selected.

Do I need to be an HMBA member?
No, but we’d love it if you did join! Racing is covered by Ontario Cycling; however, for any riding outside of the event, a HMBA membership is required, Also, trail maintenance is supported directly by HMBA membership.
