Itinerary description
BC Bike Race has returned to the fabled North Shore of Vancouver for stage one presented by BC Ferries with the most attended edition of the ultimate singletrack experience. Without the North Shore the BCBR was missing the one obvious stage that represented a huge part of the history of mountain biking. Racers excitement to be able to race in a place that has been an immeasurable influence for their sport for the past three decades was thick in the air. They weren't disappointed. Keeping with it's reputation for being the land where wet trails are part of the lore, the clouds only kept the forest damp while their spirits were lifted by the thrill of riding through trails that mixed high speed flow with, berms, roller-coaster drops, rocks, root clusters, and tight corners. Every place has a flow unique to it's geography and the minds who create the trails. Even with the evolution of trail care each rider got a fresh reminder or an unexpected introduction to what makes the North Shore unique. Here is where free-ride was born, pushing the boundaries of what bikes and bodies can do on the trail.
