There will be 2 levels of rides available for Saturday so you can decide what suits you.
Lunch will be provided

Sunday June 7th was our Cochranes XC race and we couldn't be happier with the day!
We had record entries of 318!
We want to thank everyone that made this event come together! Our volunteers really are something else! Many days of getting trails ready and setting up the course, to the day off volunteers that were there bright and early to make sure the day ran smoothly, thank you!! 🙌 You really are why these events happen and the sport doesn't just continue, but grows!💪
And to the racers! Thanks so much for coming out and enjoying the day. We love seeing your smiling faces (even covered in dirt 🤣)
Check out for more event pics!

Just a reminder that the majority of the Corduroy runs on private property. We have permission to use this property once a year. Some landowners have contacted me that they have seen and heard riders on their property. This is going to jeopardize our event, if we're not allowed to use these properties because of people trespassing. Please do not ride on any of the Corduroy trails unless they are public property and listed on the OFTR app as allowable trails for off-road motorcycles.
Even when we go on to their property ahead of the event to clear trail or arrowhead we make sure the landowner knows and gives us permission.

We would still love some more volunteers for Sunday! Even people to bring more water to volunteers is a big help!

We are so lucky to have this legendary man still so involved in our club ❤️
Be sure to check out his book
'This, Is My Story' - Warren Thaxter

Warren Thaxter Author – CMHoF Inductee (Class of 2015)
An expert rider (ISDE), builder, and visionary, Warren Thaxter is the godfather of off-road motorcycling in Ontario. As a co-founder of the OFTR in 1992, he was instrumental in securing riding rights and trail access for everyone.
From pioneering rider training (Trail Tours) to early GPS-guided events (Rally Connex), Warren saw the future long before anyone else. If you are riding single-track today, there is an 80% chance his "fingerprints" are on it.
A true legend who shaped our passion. Check out his book, available now on Amazon!

Warren Thaxter écrivain - Intronisé au Panthéon Canadien de la Moto (2015)
Pilote expert (ISDE), bâtisseur et visionnaire, Warren Thaxter est le parrain du motocross hors-piste en Ontario. Co-fondateur de l'OFTR en 1992, il a structuré la défense de vos droits et l'accès aux sentiers.
Des écoles de pilotage (Trail Tours) aux premiers événements guidés par GPS (Rally Connex), il a tout anticipé. Si vous roulez sur un "single track" aujourd'hui, il y a 80 % de chances que Warren l'ait tracé.
Un géant qui a façonné notre passion. Merci Warren !
