🌈 2026 UCI Junior World Championships

What an incredible experience for our Devo athlete Alexa Haviland, who earned her spot on Team Canada as one of just four Junior women selected to represent Canada at the 2026 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Val di Sole, Trentino, Italy. 🇮🇹

And what a way to make your World Championship debut.

With 70 Junior women lined up on the start, Alexa took on a demanding, exciting and incredibly fun course - and a whole new level of nerves and pressure that comes with wearing the maple leaf on the world stage.

She rose to the occasion and finished 23rd in the world and as the top Canadian. 🇨🇦🔥

Beyond the result, this was an incredible learning experience. Racing at a World Championship is about so much more than a number beside your name - it’s about lining up alongside the best in the world, managing the nerves, learning from the experience and finding out what you’re capable of when the pressure is on.

And that’s something worth celebrating for every athlete who stood on that start line. To all the riders who represented their countries, took on the challenge and especially those experiencing their first World Championships: you earned your place there, you faced the pressure, and you walked away with an experience that will shape the athlete you become.

For Alexa, this was her first World Championships on the XCO course - and we have a feeling it won’t be her last. 💙

We couldn’t be prouder. Congratulations, Alexa! 🇨🇦👏

What is XCO?

XCO, or Cross-Country Olympic, takes riders across a longer, more demanding course built to test every part of their riding. Racers face sustained climbs, technical descents, changing terrain and multiple laps where pacing becomes just as important as outright speed. The race develops over time as riders decide when to conserve energy, when to attack and when to make their move.

It’s not just about being fast — it’s about staying fast from start to finish.

A race can be won on a climb, lost in a technical section or completely changed by one perfectly timed attack. To stay at the front, racers need endurance, technical ability, smart pacing and the confidence to attack when the opportunity comes. It’s a full-course battle where strength, skill and strategy all have to come together.

Who can put together the complete race? Sunday Sept 13 at Woodnewton.

A great day on the trails at Woodnewton! 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️

We were excited to welcome Ontario Cycling’s Rising Stars MTB Camp #3 to Woodnewton this past weekend, bringing together some of Ontario’s up-and-coming athletes for a full day focused on skills, tactics and competition preparation.

One of the highlights? Getting to put some of Woodnewton’s newest features to the test! 👀

Thanks to Cory from woodyraceseries who continues to help make Woodnewton a place where riders can learn, develop and push their limits. These new features are already adding some exciting challenges to the trails - and they’ll be making an appearance on the course for the upcoming Ontario Provincial Championships!

It was pretty cool to see these features put through their paces by athletes preparing for the highest level of competition in the province. We can’t wait to see what they bring to the Provincial Championship course!

A huge thank you to Erin from Woodnewton, Ontario Cycling , the coaches, and of course, the athletes who came out!

The countdown to Provincials is on! 🏆📸

Team Relay, explained.

4 riders. 4 laps. 1 team.

One rider races at a time. Each rider completes one lap, then hands the race over to the next teammate. The clock never stops.

That’s what makes Team Relay so exciting. Every lap can completely change the race. A strong ride can erase a gap, one mistake can shake up the order, and every exchange gives a team another chance to attack.

Who gets the team off to the perfect start? Who closes the gap? Who holds the position under pressure? And who gets the final lap and brings it home?

Whether you’ve raced Team Relay before or you’re thinking about giving it a try for the first time, Saturday is your chance to race for a Provincial Championship as a team.

At Woodnewton: Team Relay Provincial Championships run Saturday, September 12, with team submissions due Friday evening.

Details and times subject to the official technical guide.

Our Race Team and Devo athletes have been putting in some serious miles over the past two weeks, taking on back-to-back Canada Cup racing in Dieppe, New Brunswick and Brookvale, PEI. 🇨🇦

Dieppe brought hot, dry and dusty conditions, with a fast, flowy course that made for some seriously fun racing. Then it was on to Brookvale, where the course couldn’t have been more different - chunky, technical, hilly and packed with big features that challenged riders at every turn.

Across both weekends, our athletes continued to rack up strong results while gaining valuable experience on terrain very different from what we see at home.

🔥 Top 10 results from the two weekends (XCC, XCO):
Anna Christensen - Dieppe 4th,🥈| Brookvale🥈🥈
Nicole Haviland - Dieppe 5th,🥉| Brookvale🥉, 4th
Alexa Haviland - Dieppe 🥇🥇
Clare Hauber - Dieppe🥈,🥈| Brookvale 🥈🥈
Julia Meyer - Dieppe 10th, 10th | Brookvale 5th, 7th
Dylan Kerr - Dieppe 10th, 9th | Brookvale 🥉, 5th
Alex McCabe - Brookvale 8th, 9th

We’re incredibly proud of everyone who lined up in Dieppe and Brookvale - and especially proud of the way they continue to embrace new courses, new challenges and everything that comes with racing across the country.

XCC, explained.

XCC is cross-country short track: a fast, short-form mountain bike race. Multiple laps of a compact course, typically around 20–25 minutes, everyone starting together — the sprint version of cross-country.

And it’s built for watching. Short laps bring the riders past you again and again, passing and lead changes can happen every lap, and small mistakes can change the whole race. First across the finish line wins.

XCC opens championship weekend Friday evening at Woodnewton.

Racing it? Registration is open — link in bio.

Sept 11–13. Woodnewton, Uxbridge.

09/08/2026

Registration is open for ShredHERS Fest.

Saturday, September 12, 2-6pm at Woodnewton. An afternoon built for girls and women who ride - riding, skills, and a field full of people who want you there.

It runs on the same weekend as the Ontario MTB Provincial Championships

You do not need to be fast, and you do not need to have done this before. That is genuinely the point.
