Get Inspired: New 22 Minute BCBR Video!

Get Inspired: New 22 Minute BCBR Video!

We're really fortunate to have the folks at Ride Guide join us each year to film extensive coverage of the BC Bike Race from start to finish...these guys are everywhere! At the start, at the finish, on the trails, in the air:  ev-ery-where! The amazing footage that they capture gets edited down to "episode size" for the Ride Guide - Bike television season...and the eyes of millions of viewers around the globe!

As a bonus, Kevin and his crew have produced a very inspiring 22 minute trailer of footage from BC Bike Race 2008 that is guaranteed to have you reaching for your bike to hit the trails. We love the video so much, we've got a link to it on our Home Page...

Check it out and get inspired to ride today!


6 Week BCBR Training Plan - You CAN Do It!

6 Week BCBR Training Plan - You CAN Do It!

Worried you can't prepare in time for the BC Bike Race? No worries! We realize that sitting down to make a training plan or find a coach, etc., isn't easy to squeeze in to an already busy life.

So, to help you get ready, we've added a great Basic 6 Week Program (basic preparation) to complement our Advanced 11 Week Program (detailed preparation) in our Training Section on the website! Designed with the Weekend Warrior in mind, this new program should be manageable by almost anyone. Check it out - and as always we are here to answer any training questions that you may have.

2009 Registration is Still Going Strong!

2009 Registration is Still Going Strong!

If you've been sitting on the fence, surely one viewing of the new BCBR Trailer Video has nudged you into joining us!

We know that you have heaps of options in the mountain bike multi-day stage race arena, and we understand how important it is to really do your homework before you invest your hard-earned money into the dream bike vacation of a lifetime.

So, to help you out, we've created an Evaluation Tool that highlights some of the important things you should look for when choosing an event. Of course, we've highlighted the BCBR offerings, but that's just to get you going. We've left space for you to research and document the other race offerings in order to do a fair comparison and determine which race is right for you. We're quite confident that BC Bike Race stands head and shoulders above the rest...but that's ultimately for you to decide. 

Mind you, hundreds of BCBR alumni can't be wrong! In 2008, 56% of racers ranked BCBR as Awesome Value while 40% of racers ranked BCBR as Good Value. That's 96% of all participants giving us a glowing review! Join us and find out for yourself why...

Fill Up Your Dance Card!

With the snow starting to melt and the weather being a little more "rider friendly", many of us are getting organized for the biking season to come. We're starting to mark up our calendars with training programs and target rides that span the season...and what a great way to get excited about spring and summer while sorting out some riding milestones and adventures at the same time!

Just a few of the many friends of BCBR include:

Check our Resources page for more ideas to fill your calendar! And if none of our "friend" events are located near you, check with your local bike shop or cycling organization for some ideas.


Until Next Month...

...here's hoping that you're back in the saddle again after a long and frosty winter! We'll be back in your Inbox in April. Watch for us!
