La Ruta is Just Around the Corner!

From Andreas Hestler...

Good Luck to my friends at La Ruta

Nov 12-15, 2008 is the 16th running of La Ruta de los Conquistadores. For the last two years I have earned the right to call myself a "Conquistadore". This incredibly hard race, one of the hardest in the world, challenges even the best. Last year Dean Payne, the founder of the BC Bike Race, came to play and this was the year that they also changed from 3 days to 4 - four days of immense climbing, mud, jungle and pain. This year I will miss La Ruta, but our teammates from the BC Bike Race, Dave Howells and Melissa Pace, are all fired up to cross Costa Rica, from the Pacific to the Caribbean, to challenge the course and to find out if they will become the next Conquistadores. Dave and Melissa - good luck at La Ruta...dig deep and find your courage, this will be an awesome adventure!

BCBR Joins Forces with IMBA

In its young life, BCBR has donated time and money to a number of trail projects along the spectacular BC Bike Race route...and now this partnership with IMBA represents a unified goal of acquiring, maintaining and developing mountain bike trails both globally and right here at home.   

We are delighted to join the task force that is known as IMBA to attempt a bigger and better co-ordination of all of our efforts to acquire, build and maintain trails for now and for the future. Read more!
