 | “BCBR had an amazing journey in 2022, I’ve fallen in love with the Okanagan, this route, and these communities, we will be back, you can bet on that!” |
Always the focus is amazing singletrack
This 2022 route, this journey through the Okanagan, traveled vertically 9765meters (916m more than the height of Everest (8849m)) and tasted 265.5 kilometers of mostly singletrack. An incredible feat for all of the mountain bikers that attended, from an astonishing 27 countries!
| “We are so fortunate in BC, with an abundance of mountains, dynamic terrain, hospitable communities, and that wonderful thing we all love – singletrack! See you in 2023!!” |
Thin brown ribbons of Pow, where ever we go!

Must Read This Week
I was stuck on the Denman ferry twice this summer.
Just Wondering?????
Depends on your goals. Seems like the front of the pack is all fox 34 stepcast forks and short travel bikes, but there are people running Enduro bikes too. Being an islander I'd want 130mm-ish in the rear to have fun on the downhills (150/130 is a great setup for the island for recreational riding). Something like a Norco optic would be great.
