Mississauga MTB Park Officially a Go
Courtesy Joanne Uhlmann-
We here at the OCA are pleased to announce that after a lengthy negotiation
process, the plan for a mountain bike "Challenge Park" in Mississauga
is officially in the works.
The hydro corridor, which will be the location of the park, is 8.4 acres and
is located on the north side of Highway 403 between the railroad tracks and
Culham Trail.
The goal is to have this project underway by July with the help of some community
cyclists and qualified trail builders who will be developing a design over the
next couple of months.
IMBA will be doing a Trails Solutions 2 day course April 2 & 3 with Forestry
and Parks assisting in terms of equipment, raw materials and small machinery.
If you wish to get involved, please contact either Luc or Jamie at Cyclepath
or Joanne Uhlmann.

IMBA Trail School Workshop: October 30 + 31, 2004
The International Mountain Bicycling Association came to the Don Valley and
Mark Schmidt and Lora Woolner of the IMBA Canadian Office held another Don Valley
Trail School with local trail users. The hands-on workshop resulted in 400 ft
of new trail (pictures). Great work!
