Hey CCC riders, 

As we gear up for the colder months, there’s lots happening on and off the trails — from our Snowdog fundraiser and winter events to trail updates and next season’s race plans. Here’s what’s new and how you can get involved!

Snowdog Fundraiser

We’re raising funds to cover part of the cost of our new Snowdog, which will help us groom select trails at Palgrave for fat biking this winter. Our goal is $4,000. The club will take care of ongoing maintenance and operating costs — we just need your help to get started.

Please contribute what you can to support winter riding in Caledon.

24 Hours of Summer Solstice

We’re planning to return to the 24 Hours of Summer Solstice next year — one of the most fun and social races of the season.

Our goal is to bring as many teams as possible and set up a shared central camp for all CCC riders.

There are options for solo riders or teams of up to ten, including all-women, all-men, and mixed categories. Registration opens in early November, so we need to know who’s interested soon. The cost is approximately $160-185 per person.

Winter Solstice Ride & Hike — Dec 20th

Join us for our annual ride or hike at the Dingle on Saturday Dec 20th, followed by an optional group lunch. It’s a great way to mark the shortest day of the year and catch up with fellow riders before the holidays.

Trail Update: Erin Closure

Erin trails will be closed from November 3–8 for deer hunting season. Plan your rides accordingly and stay safe.

Trail Building Highlights

It’s been a busy and productive year for trail work!

Albion Hills

We extended the IMBA Trail, rerouted Live and Learn, refreshed Pinecone Express, and built Boulderdash — quickly becoming a club favorite. We also improved Gnarly Berms with a reroute and new features, and wrapped up the season by extending Epic Ride. Big thanks to everyone who picked up a shovel this year!

Erin Trails

This summer, we focused on the new skills park, with Mean Green and Quantum Leap nearly complete. The goal is to give riders a place to repeat sections and build skills — from advanced riders practicing jumps to beginners working on control and body position.

Next year, we’ll shift focus to refreshing existing trails, improving flow, and balancing the climb-to-reward ratio.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers for their hard work and enthusiasm this season. You’ve made a lasting difference.
