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. (Obviously, with some significant improvements!) So here’s my list of logistical tips and things to pay attention to – both for my… Read More A lady’s reflection on BC Bike Race

BCBR7 – Whistler

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.  I noticed that even though I was looking forward to the day, because it signaled… Read More BCBR7 – Whistler

BCBR6 – Squamish

July 12.  Squamish was my favorite day of the 7-day BC Bike Race. Not only did we wake up to stunning beauty, but there were little things like that fact that we didn’t have to pack up before the race, food was a short walk away, I had just had a massage the night before…… Read More BCBR6 – Squamish

BCBR5 – North Vancouver

July 11.  North Vancouver is famed for it’s mountain biking.  There’s a saying: The Californians created the mountain bike, but North Vancouver created mountain biking.  It’s tough miles; super technical with rocks, ruts, drops, rollers and tight squeezes. As I’m not a super confident technical rider, I knew that today was going to be tough.… Read More BCBR5 – North Vancouver

BCBR4 -Sechelt to Langdale

July 10.  I’ll admit that the 4th stage of the BC Bike Race is a bit of a blur because I was still tired and attempting to refuel from day 3.  The course today was supposed to have less fire road, and it was going to be longer and with more climbing. After waking up,… Read More BCBR4 -Sechelt to Langdale

BCBR3 – Earls Cove to Sechelt

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

BCBR2 – Powell River

BC Bike Race.  This is my story of 7 epic days of mountain biking in British Columbia, Canada.   July 8, 2017.  After finishing my first stage in Cumberland, my arms were feeling a little weak and I was thankful for all the training that I’d done (Don’t worry, it still wasn’t enough!)  I met… Read More BCBR2 – Powell River

BCBR1 – Cumberland

BC Bike Race.  This is my story of 7 epic days of mountain biking in British Columbia, Canada.   July 7, 2017. Today was the first day on the mountain bike that I welcomed fire road with open arms. The single track was that hard (and AWESOME!). After traveling from Vancouver the day before, we… Read More BCBR1 – Cumberland

BCBR – Registration and jitters

After traveling up the west coast with our bikes, arriving in Vancouver Canada…we’ve finally registered for the BC Bike Race! We’re still getting used to the fact that there’s daylight from 5.15am to 9.20pm, so I woke up early again today. During breakfast, we noticed that there were more languages and larger groups in the… Read More BCBR – Registration and jitters
