July 3rd, 2008 (London, ON) – Plastiglas Ontario Cup # 5 will take place this Sunday, July 6, at Boler Mountain in the lively town of London, Ontario. Boler Mountain, a venue that is no stranger to hosting national events, will host an Ontario Cup once again after last year’s success.

The course is a mix of Boler’s extremely fast trails and twisty single track, which is easily accessible for all fans and spectators. Boler Mountain will not only showcase a hillier course this year, but also expect Johnny to be singing the National Anthem for the 1:30 pm start. Also, Ontario’s own Derek Zandstra (3 Rox Racing), Emily Batty (Trek Store Team), and Tyson Wagler (Two-Wheel Express) are all expected to be racing, after arriving home from Mountain Bike World Championships in Italy. The cross-country events will test racers over distances ranging from 10km-50 km. The Experts and Pro/Elites will be racing from 1:30 pm until 3:30 pm with other events starting at 8:30 am.

The Plastiglas Ontario Cup Series consists of 7 events taking place at premier mountain bike venues all across Ontario. These events have categories for all mountain bike ability levels.
