The BC bike race - British Columbia

[Markellis]

With Epic just ending and every "box" and his dog going back into the mind set of "Stage race or die" I started doing some interwebbing.

 

Last Epic I entered I think we paid about 30-35K, it was a coupe years back. Now you paying like 80-100K.

 

I stumbled on the BC bike race, a stage race in Canada.

 

It's looks awesome and see a few South Africans do it each year.

 

Are there any people here who have made the trip and done this?

 

From some quick sums it works out cheaper then epic and loos like a better ride.

Absolutely incredible experience. Do it at least once, cost be damned.

Also have a look at the Quebec Singletrack, i had some guests here from Canada who has done both, who said the BC bike race has the bigger advertising and marketing but in their experience the Quebec Singletrack was better

An aquantence of mine did it last year, says it was absolutely amazing!

 

Top of my stage race bucket list!

Matchstix did it a few years ago. You could send him a message and ask his opinion on it. He loved it, in short.

Kinda like Cape Epic and Joberg2c ;-)  I won't tell you which one I think is the better experience / ride.
