Billed as the “ultimate singletrack experience.”

“The terrain here on the west coast is very diverse. The coastal mountains that form Whistler and the North Shore are pretty formidable obstacles. Vancouver Island, the home of Canada’s National Cycling Centre, is also unique in its coastal properties. During BC Bike Race, you will traverse unique picturesque places ranging from duffy, lush, west coast rain forest to high alpine mountain passes.”

“To ensure you can do it, you should have experience riding in cold, wet, hot, dry, dusty and muddy conditions.”
