A lady’s reflection on BC Bike Race
There’s more than a few good things to know about BC Bike Race. Although the adventure is already a month past, I’m already considering if I want to do it again in 2019.

July 13. I woke up in Squamish, eagerly anticipating the last stage of the 7 day BC Bike Race where we would end in Whistler. As we loaded up the buses and headed to Bayly Park for the start line.

July 9, 2017. There was a few days in the 7 day BC Bike Race line up that was dreading… and this was one of them. Today’s line up would really test me, not only from a “hey, you’ve already put in some serious saddle time for the last 2 days” standpoint – but because… Read More BCBR3 – Earls Cove to Sechelt
