DH Toonie Rides
DH Toonie Rides: Bi-weekly on Wednesdays (offset of the XC)
These popular timed downhill rides, are held bi-weekly, offset of the XC Toonies.
There is a full downhill Toonie ride season scheduled for the 2011, with an overall point series to boot! We also will definitely need more volunteers to come out and support the events. Downhill Toonies will include a variety of courses presenting a range of challenges. Note that sign up continues until the last rider has left. The night is topped off with a post ride BBQ, where riders will join the people from the Social Wednesday ride.
These rides are for SORCA members only. All memberships must be purchased online. If you show up to ride and you are not registered as a SORCA member, you will not ride. Also, anyone under 18 must have a parent waiting at the finish line. No parent, no riding.
Keep up to date with fellow riders, post opinions, take part in the setup of each seasons events (crowd-sourcing) over on the SORCA dh series Facebook Page!
The 2011 SORCA DH series is proudly supported by Royal Racing and is Powered By SRAM. The series winner of each division will be decked out, head to toe, in some bling 2011 Royal Racing gear, while the runner up will receive parts from SRAM!

NOTE: For 2011, rather than the mystery trails for the bonus points rounds, we will be holding two races on very short tracks. This will happen twice during the season with each events winner being selected via different methods for each round (combined times and single best time winning). Bonus rounds, as with the 2010 season, will be worth an extra 10 points to each riders overall points tally.
