September 18, 2012 (Mansfield, ON) – The first of the Ontario University Cup Series mountain bike races took place this past weekend at the Mansfield Outdoor Centre near Mansfield Ontario. Student athletes representing a number of Ontario universities and colleges were eager to once again be a part of this fun series.  In its 14th year the U-Cup welcomes student athletes who want to try cross country mountain bike racing. There are advanced divisions for those with race experience, and a beginner division for the first time racers.

Not all schools have mountain bike clubs, so you can register “day-of”. New riders are welcome. Male and Female.
