Not Signed Up But Wanna Race With Us in '08?

Though the 2008 BC Bike Race is now ‘Sold Out’, the Wait List is now open! And, there's a very good chance of getting in through the Wait List, for those who sign up early.

Based on past experience and by the nature of these events, we believe that spots will become available over the next two months for myriad reasons...participants struggle to find a suitable partner...find themselves unable to train due to illness/injury...or simply have unanticipated things arise that prevent them from following through with their plans.

In fact, this is actually more common than you'd think!

So don’t lose heart, stay focused on training and join the Wait List - your chance to ride could come up next!
