Mountain Bike Ontario was founded as a grassroots volunteer organization working to unite, support and celebrate Ontario's passionate mountain bike community, and find innovative ways of working together towards common goals. This sparked the idea of the Mountain Bike Ontario Festival.
The Mountain Bike Ontario Festival has been developed in partnership with the International Mountain Bicycling Association (Canada) and Sacred Rides. This inaugural festival will be entitled "Trailblazing" to capture the energy of this innovative new initiative.
"Trailblazing" will create a platform to act as a catalyst for collaboration and the growth of all forms of mountain bikers across the province to gather and build community and a forum to communicate the need for Ontario mountain bikers and various community stakeholders to work together to promote and grow the sport to people of all ages.
"Trail Blazing" is also a fun filled event aimed at bringing together active families and cycling enthusiasts from across Ontario. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in several activities and competitions.
Mark off Saturday July 16th, 2011, to be held at Kelso Conservation. The venue offers chair lift service with access to a diverse trail system, a family beach and over night camping.
