Race report: BC Bike Race - Day 2

[Matt]

The BC Bike Race takes Canada Day Seriously and showed the world through it's international riders what they Canadian's have to be proud about. A trail network that seems boundless. Day Two of the BC Bike Race Presented by CLIF Bar rolled into the town of Campbell River with its merry travelers after an early departure from the quite streets of Cumberland. Originally renowned for it's Salmon fishing, the trails of the now famous Snowden Demonstration Forest surrounding the town saw a different type of angling as riders got hooked on a new trail experience. Less climbing and more speed had riders pumping and flowing their way back to base camp at Willow Point Park. For Day Two the sun continued to shine on the race but the old growth forest kept racers cool beneath it's verdant canopies. With trails like Lost Frog, Mudhoney Pass and Boxed Lunch, it seems British Columbia's most vibrant industry is the production of trails worth traveling the world to ride.
