May 3, 2011 – The High School MTB Championships will take place on Friday, May 27, at Hardwood Ski and Bike. Hardwood Ski and Bike and Pearl Izumi welcome riders from all over Ontario back for the 17th annual Ontario High School Mountain Bike Championships.

We look forward providing a fun and challenging day for all ages and levels of riders. Each cyclist may compete as an individual in the morning races and again as a school relay team in the afternoon.

All school and riders are encouraged to bring other riding friends and athletes to fulfill “team” points for their school awards.
Elementary School riders are also welcome to compete in a dedicated category.

Easy On-Line entry is available here with full event details available here.
