About this event

Twilight MTB Series p/b Bushtukah
The Trek Twilight Series powered by Bushtukah is a six-event recreational mountain bike series hosted at Domaine Kanawe, Vorlage, and Wesley Clover.
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.
Distances are the same for men and women. 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.

NEW for 2026: 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 in its final stages of 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.
Here are some common scenarios:
Quebec Resident
-
You have a FQSC license = no need to purchase one with our series
-
You have no license, but want to race 1 time = purchase a one day license from FQSC, this option is not available at Wesley Clover location
-
You have no license and want to race in both provinces = purchase license from FQSC
-
FQSC license costs, one day $10 youth, $15 adult, full license $40 youth, $60 adult.
-
FQSC licenses are valid through all of Canada as they are UCI based licenses
Ontario Resident
-
You have an OC Challenge, Compete or UCI license = no need to purchase one with our series.
-
You have no license, but want to race 1 time = purchase a one day license from FQSC if the event is in Quebec.
-
You have no license, but want to race 1 time in Ontario = purchase OC challenge, compete or UCI license. No one day option
-
You have no license and want to race in both provinces = purchase challenge, compete or UCI license from OC.
-
OC licence costs, Challenge: 8 and under $46, 8- 18 years youth $57, adult $88, UCI and more pricing options here: https://ontariocycling.org/membership/
-
OC UCI licenses are valid through all of Canada
-
OC challenge or compete valid in Quebec only for Twilight Series
If you wish to race the Quebec Cup this summer and you have an OC challenge or compete license, you will need to purchase the one day FQSC license option or upgrade to a UCI license for full coverage.
Please see below for FQSC license prices:
​
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.
We are very excited for this new chapter of the Trek Twilight Series and the great opportunities it brings everyone in the community!

Event Pricing:

Each rider will be awarded a number plate valid for the complete season. At registration, the rider must present a valid license. If a rider does not have a number plate, a fee of $5 will be charged for a new plate with the same number.
Event Parking:
We ask that all participants follow parking signs, and only park in the designated area.
Facilities:
Bakkers Trailblazers will be providing portable toilets if there are not any on site. We ask that participants use them, and not the grounds. Failure to do so will result in 1 warning and expulsion of participants for a second offence. No refund will be offered.
First Time Racers and Pre-ride:
For first time riders and for pre riding, Bakkers Trailblazers strongly recommends that riders pre-ride the course before the first event. Pre-riding the course will help equip new riders with the right knowledge going into their first event.
Inclement Weather Policy:
All events will be held rain or shine. In the event of thunder and lightning, starts will be delayed until extreme weather has passed. In the event where the weather is too threatening (includes natural disaster, poor air quality), Bakkers Trailblazers will make a decision to cancel the event at least 2 hours prior to the first race start. No refund will be issued.
