Mountain Bike - Coulson's Hill Weekly MTB Series - Bradford
2023-05-08 18:00 - 21:00, 2023-05-15 18:00 - 21:00, 2023-05-22 18:00 - 21:00, 2023-05-29 18:00 - 21:00 | Ontario
This local series has run non-stop since the early 90s – making it one of the longest running cross country mountain bike events in the country. With a focus on fun, family, and progression of skills and fitness, we have turned rookies into passionate cyclists and veterans into champions. Our forest is the “home track” for Canadian National Champion Andrew Watson, Olympian and Hour Record holder Ed Veal, and X-Games World Champion Brett Rheeder. This is truly the birthplace of champions.
Throughout this history, great friendships have been forged, skills tested, and endurance pushed to its limits. But despite the different skill levels and riding expectations of our participants, we always return to one fundamental truth: The riders who join us at Coulson Hill leave with an experience that will forever change them. The sense of accomplishment and exhilaration will get you addicted. And you will ride more. And you will get stronger and fitter. And you’ll have the time of your life doing it! But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Family & Fun-Focussed What makes our series unique is the broad skill and age range that we draw. For example, our youngest rider was only 4 years old and our oldest, 69 years. No other series in Ontario is as family-focussed and fun-oriented as the Coulson Hill Weekly Series. The welcoming vibe at our series is legendary. Everyone there knows the fear and anxiety of coming out for the first time – we’ve all been there! Once you arrive on site, locate the registration tent, speak with our friendly team, let your tension go and watch the arenalin flow.
We will ensure you know what to do, how to share the trails with other users, how to handle passing, and what signage to be aware of. Before every race, we discuss the particulars of a given course and make sure everyone is aware of specific challenges that lay ahead. All technical obstacles are optional. You will never be faced with a situation where you have to ride beyond your abilities – unless you want to! Our Mini-Me participants are treated to their very own simplified course with minimized technical difficulty and reduced climbing. The goal is to create the best possible atmosphere for these budding young riders to ensure that become cyclists for life.

On the first Sunday in June, thousands of riders, volunteers and supporters gather for a charity cycling event along parts of Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway with a common mission: raise funds to promote research, innovation, care and education in the field of aging and brain health, in support of Baycrest.
The Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health event is a fully supported ride that provides participants with fundraising tools and guidance, meals and snacks at our start line and rest stops along routes, mechanical and medical assistance, and bike and rider transportation where needed.
This support allows riders to focus on why they’re riding: to fund life saving projects for the aging in our community.

When you register for Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health, you are signing up for a fundraising mission first, and a bike ride second.
Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or haven’t been on a bike for years, there’s a place for you in the event. Cyclists can choose to ride one of four different routes ranging from 25km, 50km, 75km and a brand new timed 75km route.
New to the event in 2023 is the addition of a 75km timed route which is recommended for a cyclist who can maintain an average speed of 25km/hour on their bike for the full 75 kms.
Baycrest Foundation’s mission is to promote research, innovation, care and education in the field of aging and brain health, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and stroke, as well as medical programs and services for older adults living in the community. Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health provides a way for riders to do something about it: raise funds and celebrate by cycling on the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway traffic-free.
