Friday Evening Updates:
Saturday Pre-Ride:
For people driving up Saturday who would like to pre-ride:
Meet at WR Best School at 2:30pm, in the parking lot. (Directions here. When you exit the highway to go to Harwood, WR Best school will be on that road, before Hardwood.)
Simon will bring the bikes he's transporting in his van.
From there, we will have the option of riding some trails near Hardwood which are similarly technical (but free), or riding at Hardwood.
This means that people aiming to make this ride should pick up their last passenger at 12:00-12:15pm.
Food:
Saturday supper will be a BBQ at Simon's. BYO Meat/Buns/Veggies etc, (though there will be a pre-supper grocery run to Midland).
Sunday breakfast: We'll pick up supplies in Midland on Saturday-- please bring a few dollars to chip in, if you'd like to partake!

'Aight everyone, here we go again! Hardwood Hills is this Sunday and it's time to get stoked! Anyone who has raced or ridden at Hardwood knows this is a legit MTB facility. Technical riding, decent climbs, and wide open, fast double track to make passing nice and easy. More info is available on the U-Cup website, but it's the mostly the same as other weeks. New Riders it's not too late to start racing this season!
Since Hardwood is a little over two hours from Guelph, anyone who wants to come up to my house (~half hour from Hardwood) Saturday to stay over is more than welcome. That way Sunday morning will be alot easier on us. Of course this depends entirely on what the drivers want to do, but IMO it's a good idea. (Drivers get shotgun on bed spots cuz without them were F'd) We'll also try to sort out leaving times/cars on this thread so that things go smoothly -that said this thread is going to be an absolute disaster- so keep checking this first post for super important information.
Directions to Hardwood.
Directions to Simon's House.
Pre-Ride Details
I talked to Dave today, and he's hoping to have the course mostly marked by 1:00 pm on Saturday. We will need trail tickets to ride on Saturday -cost is $12.50
As usual, post if you're coming, can drive, and what time you would like to/can leave.
**I can't drive people up to this race, I have to be home friday night, but I can take up a million bikes and keep them safe so that everyone else has as many people spots as possible.
Since Hardwood is pretty far, and we have to organize pick up spots to get there, plan to give whoever drives you $15-20 for gas -more if they need it
