With approximately 300 kilometers of adventure through old growth forests, along pristine coastlines, and on handcrafted singletrack the journey BC Bike Race offers promises a lifetime of memories.
All routes are now posted on the BC Bike Race website (http://www.bcbikerace.com/the-journey/the-stages/) and a big thank you to TRAILFORKS for creating the Route Function. This function enables event courses and select routes to be shared with the public and also gives deep insight into what the local clubs, trail builders, and communities have created.
