The BC Bike Race is entering it’s fifth day in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada- and it’s no wonder many regard this as the ultimate singletrack experience…

Gotta say, this is a cracking event. Very hard with lots of climbing and some great single track including many great trail features in such density and high hit rate that you just don’t get back at home.
Event logistics are amazing and the weather has been awesome.
Anyone thinking about signing up should just do it. Whilst it seems and is expensive it does represent good value.
