It wouldn’t be a race season without an inaugural kick-off at Woodnewton! Typically the start of the Ontario Cup series, this legendary venue and race course is now a stand-alone race perfect to crown the fittest spring riders, or tune up the legs for the upcoming season! With Superfly stepping back from Ontario Cup racing after 24 years, we are excited to bring the same consistency to a few individual events – without the need for expensive licenses or over-the-top registration fees! We are still bringing an Expert division, and stratifying abilites so you can race head to head against your peers!

The 11 km course will max out all the goodness that Woodnewton has to offer, while offering some good spectating!

Superfly Racing is again happy to have Scott Bikes on board as the title sponsor of all Superfly events for 2023! Be sure to check out their amazing line of bikes and look for them on-site at Superfly Events! To check out their Canadian website, click HERE

The COURSE

Woodnewton is a rider favourite, and is always the first place to provide dry riding in the GTA!

This is the only opportunity for riders outside the Shredders program and the weekly series to ride the trails, riders love the ultra fast, flowy race specific trails at Woody! A mix of hand-built and machine built trails, along with some long sustained climbs, makes Woodnewton the perfect starting point for the series! Great spectating on trails such as Jalinelle’s Revenge and Holmes’ Hillybilly Hustle – not to mention the famous Rock Garden, also make it a very family and team-friendly venue!

Top is the longer loop, bottom shorter! Final maps will be ready by Thursday Pre-riding.

What is the difference in categories?

While the Youth start is split into ages with one Expert Category for both boys and girls, The Sport 10:15 (Sport) start is geared to beginner to intermediate riders, and the distance is a reflection of this. This is for first-time, or mid-level racers without the time to train, or that don’t take it quite as seriously.

The 12:30 pm Expert race is rather self explanatory – seasoned racers that have race experience and some time to train, this includes anyone that has raced Elite or Expert level categories in the past.

There is nothing preventing you from choosing any category you’d like – if you’re not super fast but want the distance, you are more than welcome to sign up for the 12:30pm (Expert) category!
