Stage 7 - July 3, 2010

Route: All Whistler, All Day!*

The final day of BC Bike Race is a significant change from last year.

New Route Update!

This final day, your victory lap, will reflect a parade of awesome singletrack that is the hidden gem of Whistler!

Day Seven Begins with the start at the Base of Blackcomb Mountain beside the Fairmont Chateau Whistler and the Four Seasons Hotel. After fueling up with coffee you'll head out Lorimer Road to HWY 99, in a controlled peloton, for approximately 10 km before turning off at Wedgemont to begin the amazing trails of the day.

First up is Secret North which is the early incarnation of Comfortably Numb where you'll climb up along soft loam to the sub-alpine before heading down Young Lust to the Al Grey Bridge over the massive gorge with raging whitewater below. Once across the Al Grey it's classic technical XC riding through the unbelievably green forest and over amazing little bridges and ramps before you are treated to some sweet rock face descending to the Green Lake Trail.

On this next section there are stunning views across to Rainbow Mountain and some loose rocky descents so don’t get too caught up enjoying the scenery or down you'll go!

The final part of the day will be spent riding through the incredible labyrinth of super fun singletrack in Lost Lake Park before facing the final burst to the finish at the base of Blackcomb.

This is some of the best planned trail in the world so enjoy. Day Seven will be your crowning glory - a chance to put the cherry on top of the amazing journey you've taken with us!
