MILLS HILLS TRAIL RIDE
The ride with the Most elevation changes in Ontario! This is a one-day GPS-guided event hosted out of the McArthurs Mills area WITH 100% NEW SINGLE TRACK TRAILS! Designed for the avid trail rider or a competitive enthusiast for Enduro bike riders. The Mills Hills Trail Ride consists of multiple off-road challenges to choose from within a prescribed loop. Challenges range from easy to very hard terrain to conquer. Sound fun? It is! Read below to learn more about the event.
Gold, Silver & Bronze routes are designed for riders who enjoy off-road trails with challenging aspects throughout. These routes are best suited for, but not limited to, Enduro-style blue or green-plated Dirt Bikes, with a minimum fuel range of 75km. The classification levels are as follows; Bronze (Easy to Med), Silver (Med to Hard) & Gold (Hard to Expert). All three routes will have challenging options within them to choose from. Read below to understand more about the classifications.
All class participants will navigate their way using GPS Routes based on their level of classification. Route sheets will be provided with maps to help you pick and choose what challenges to attempt throughout the ride. They will also help you navigate efficiently throughout the day.
We highly recommend that entrants arrive and stay Friday night in order to register on time and ask any questions about the event. The Rider's Meeting will be in person Saturday morning of the event. GPS routes will be emailed out to riders before the event or can be loaded on GPS at the event if you don't have the means of loading them at home. Cell phone navigation is permitted at the event but Rally Connex strongly discourages it. We recommend using one of the GPS units in our approved list or renting one from us (while supplies last).
The ride begins Saturday morning at 9:30am at the Mayo Community Centre. The ride lasts all day and returns to the Finish Line where door prizes will be awarded. Thanks to our amazing sponsors for some amazing door prizes! If you require training on basic GPS skills please visit our GPS training videos on YouTube coming soon! GPS Rentals from Rally Connex are available while quantities last (on the registration page when you sign up).

Hard Enduro-type terrain will be mandatory to ride in this class, which will include: Rocky rivers with fast-flowing water, steep hill climbs and descents, deep muddy passes, large water holes, technical single-track trail systems, drop offs & step-ups, multiple downed trees on the trail & bushwhacking.
Transit sections will be forest access roads, flowing two-track trails, hydro corridor multi-use trails & lane ways. This class is not for the faint of heart. Many riders, or their bikes, do not complete this class.... If you like hard enduro and are looking for that next high-level challenge, then this is the class for you.

Almost all Gold-level challenges will be available to ride optionally.
