2021 Prelim Calendar update
The 2021 Events will be held under appropriate COVID 19 guidelines as permitted by provincial and local authorities and sanctioning bodies. We are planning some mix of a “challenge” event as held in fall 2020, and a typical “race” event. Stay tuned for more details in spring 2021.
We want to thanks all the riders and sponsors for helping us through a very challenging 2020 not-season. The Fall Epic 8 Hour challenge format was a success, but we also hope to return to “normal” events in 2021.
Our preliminary calendar for 2021 is below.
Women’s 4 Hour MTB Relay – June 5 or June 4 to 6
Canadian Championships / Ontario Cup XCO – July 9 to 11
Summer Epic 8 Hour MTB Relay – July 24 or July 22 to 25
Fall Epic 8 Hour MTB Relay – Sept 25 or Sept 22 to 26
The MTB Relay events may run under some modified “challenge” and “race” formats offering both options for riders.
Be safe and have a great fall/winter.

Sept 19 Fall Epic 8 update
There are many questions as to new restrictions imposed by Ontario regarding social gatherings.
The Fall Epic 8 Hour is not considered a social gathering, as it is a solo or team (max 4 riders) riding challenge. There are no new restrictions to riders allowed to be at Hardwood. Please see link for information: https://www.ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario-stages#gathering-changes
We do want to stress the importance of each person following proper COVID protocol, with mask wearing, hand sanitizing and physical distancing from those outside your social bubble. Solo or Teams are not to bring extra friends or family.
Riders are not to group up on trail and maintain appropriate distance if passing or being passed by other riders.
All riders and support must maintain physical distance from anyone outside their social bubble.
If you are not comfortable attending we understand and support your personal decision.
We will continue to communicate if there are any changes to the situation regarding the Fall Epic 8 Hour.
Fall Epic 8 Hour – stay tuned
Stay tuned for announcement regarding the 2020 Fall Epic 8 Hour!
We have been working on some unique ideas to offer the Fall Epic 8 Hour in September.
Details will be announced early in week of Aug 4th.
June 22 Update
With the continued uncertainty and physical distancing requirements, together with Cycling Canada and Ontario Cycling, we have made the tough decision to cancel the 2020 Canadian Mountain Bike XCO Championships to be hosted at Hardwood Ski & Bike.
Pulse Racing will maintain the hosting rights for 2021 Canadian Mountain Bike XCO Championships, and are looking forward to inviting back all the riders next year!
The Fall Epic 8 Hour is still tentatively on the schedule for Sept 26. We continue to closely watch the situation and will make go/no-go decision in late August.
May 25 event update
Cycling Canada and Ontario Cycling have both confirmed that events up to July 31 are to be cancelled or postponed.
We sadly will cancel the Summer Epic 8 Hour scheduled for July 25th. The health and safety of participants, volunteers and the community as a whole are the main priority for any event. We do not want to facilitate or encourage any kind of congregating or group activity.
Any riders that pre-registered will be contacted regarding refunds.
Be safe, be smart, talk care of each other, and enjoy riding your bike responsibly. See you in 2021!
