powered By
The Trek Twilight Series powered by Bushtukah is a five-event recreational mountain bike series hosted at Wesley Clover, Domaine Kanawe, and Vorlage.
Designed to encourage mountain bike participation in the Ottawa/Gatineau area, this series offers a variety of course options ranging from beginner to advanced, ensuring accessibility for riders of all abilities. While timed ride metrics are available, the primary focus of the Trek Twilight Series is on skill development, fitness progression, and fostering a sense of community. By emphasizing fun, inclusivity, and shared experiences, the series creates an opportunity for riders to connect with like-minded members of the local mountain biking community.
Categories are defined based on age and skill level, not necessarily on fitness level. We have over 25 categories to choose from. Something for everyone. We have had participants ranging from age 5 to 70.
ABOUT US
Since our series will be spanning across provincial borders, we have been in talks with Ontario Cycling and the FQSC to find a solution for having our events sanctioned in both Ontario and Quebec. Thanks to their collaborative efforts, the Twilight series is being sanctioned in both provinces and they have created a special allowance for cross-border licensing. This means that if you have a FQSC license, you can race the Ontario stages on this license, you will not need to purchase an additional Ontario Cycling license. The same goes for Ontario license holders, your license will be valid for our Quebec location stages. This cross border license agreement only applies to the Trek Twilight Series p/b Bushtukah. The Ontario licenses are fully valid for any sanctioned event in Ontario. The FQSC licenses are fully through Canada as they are UCI licenses.
LICENSING REQUIREMENTS
For this season, we will require parents who chose to ride with their kids during the kids event have a license themselves, even if they are not racing. This ensures that everyone is covered in the event of an accident. If you are not competing as a parent in a later adult event, you will pay $1 to register in addition to the license fee.
