Video: 2013 BC Bike Race Wrap Up
“CHEER ZONES, ENDUROS, TRUMPETS AND TROMBONES”
BC Bike Race – Another resounding success for year seven. Participants from 26 countries all over the globe whooped and hollered through the sunshine and singletrack of this year’s BC Bike Race. Smiles were the mainstay of the week. While the hot sun attempted to wear down the riders, nothing could stop the high flow of energy that filled the trails and base camps.
Under the RedBull Arch on course animation entertains the riders as if the single track weren't enough.
Finishing in Whistler after seven days of delirious singletrack and repeated enduro segments highlighting the flow that BC is known for, veteran racers pumped high fives and simultaneously cried.
There are no official teams of three, but you might end up making it one if you jive right.
Registration got off at an unprecedented rate, already at 75%. After the initial opening for registration July 7th at 12 pm, noon, the inbound server crashed due to the high volume of demand. Once back up, the server processed 170 registrants in 60 seconds. Within another hour old records had fallen and 415 racers of a possible 550 spots were sold.
Clear cuts become opportunities for long stretches of wicked single track.
BC Bike Race the top ‘Bucket List’ for mountain bikers around the world maintained the highest standards for courses, food, safety and fun over seven days as nearly 1000 people (staff, participants and support) travelled through six lower mainland communities: Cumberland, Campbell River, Powell River, Sechelt, Squamish and Whistler.
A base camp dream right beside the ocean with a west facing sunset.
2014 already has 24 countries represented and less than 200 spots remaining, the chance to exceed 2012, 33 international countries is still a possibility.
Afghanistan, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela, Zambia.
July 4th, Guitar Sam entertained with Jimmy Hendrix 'Star Spangled Banner' on the start line and more rock star moves out in the woods.
