PCDI Ride the Ridge
Provincials
Let’s Go Racing!
PCDI Ride the Ridge Provincials is coming at you on August 18, 2024 and you’re not going to want to miss this one! This race will be the season finale, and we’re going back to a version of our championship course for this event. As always, we are offering a full range of categories for all ages and abilities, so don’t get scared away by it being a Sask Cup race or provincials, we have a spot for you and you’ll have a blast.
Kids 12 & Under will start racing at 9:00am on the Hayleebird trail. Young kids who are new to mountain biking should sign up for the lower loop race as it flatter and better suited for kids that are just starting out. Kids that are a bit older can go in the race using the full loop where they’ll get to go up and down the hill a bit on a nice flowing loop. Both races be on curse at the same time and will last about 15 minutes. Afterwards, stick around for a bit to watch the big race too!
For provincials, the main event starts at 10am and will race on a ~5.5km course around the park. Race distances will be as follows:
- Elite Men – 5.5 Laps
- Elite Women – 4.5 Laps
- Expert Men – 4.5 Laps
- Expert Women – 3.5 Laps
- Sport Men – 3.5 Laps

- Beginner M&W – 1 Lap
- Junior Expert Men – 3.5 Laps
