So in the summer of 2008, I completed the BC Bike Race. The toughest race I have ever done.
7 days/333miles of dirt/42,000 feet of elevation gain/52 hours of saddle time/3 ferry rides
Victoria to Whistler
The rules were:
1. Race with a teammate/partner (you could be no more than 1:00 minute apart from each other on the race course) and finish each stage together.
2. Get thru two time cutoffs on the course every day.
3. Each racer had to carry a rain jacket, food, water, whistle, means to make a fire, and a splinting device.
My teammate Charles and I had a great time. We almost missed the toughest cutoff on day 5.
Only 60% or so, of the starters, finished the race.
If you have ever dreamed of doing a long endurance event, go do it. It is incredibly rewarding, and if I can do this, anyone can do anything they put their mind to.
Hope you enjoy the blog.
