Reminder: When to ride at Mountainview, When not to.

Hello Everyone,
 
I don't want to be a wet blanket, but this reminder is neccessary:
 
With the Ontario Cup on our home course fast approaching, there will be a definite temptation to sneak up to the hill and get a few laps in. However, we must remember that the trails are still closed, except during sanctioned races and sanctioned group rides. Riding at any other time is not allowed, and innappropriate. Remember, that by riding while the trails are closed, you risk having Mountainview closed to riding entirely.
 
Now, obviously we want to DOMINATE the standings at the big race! In order to help this happen, we are setting up some extra ride opportunities at Mountainview, so that you can get the course dialled in:
 
-Monday night group rides at Copeland Forest will be held instead at Mountainview on Monday July 28th, and Monday August 4.
-Tuesday night group rides at Mountainview continue.
-A weekend group ride with a potential clinic will be setup for this weekend and possibly next weekend. Stay tuned for details.
-The Thursday night race series will be using the Ontario Cup course for the next 3 races.
 
With this many opportunities to ride, there should be no reason to trespass on mountainview property in order to ride.
 
Hammer down!
