So I have decided after a couple of years of drooling and saving to do the race next year.

Any other hubbers doing it?

I know two guys that did it this year. I have done a few stage races with them. One was my partner for a few W2W, Tuli etc. Not Hubbers though.

 

I am a really crap technical rider. I asked him about the BC. He said "you would have been pushing your bike for all 6(?) days"! So I guess it is not for me then☺....

Did it last year, it is fantastic!

Far and away the best race I've done, also, the tech riding is proper tech, up and down.

Don'te expect it to compare to anything you've ridden here.

So I am entered!!!! :clap:

although initially a bit negative since I was on my way with an early bird entry and their system somehow kicked me out when it came to payment. :cursing:

 

so now the training starts :clap:

Still need to buy flight tickets(should had bought December)

I am planning on doing a video diary for each day to post on the hub.

Enjoy! We had a blast in 2013. Give yourself enough time to adjust for the jet lag and be prepared for all weather conditions.

I've done BCBR, TransRockies, TransAlps, couple of Epics and most of the local races....  BCBR was by far the best!  Despite being on the other side of the world, I would do it again given half a chance!

I watched some highlight videos the other day and this even went right up to the top of my bucket list. It looks incredible!
