INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED & ADAPTIVE COURSES

The BC Bike Race presents a brand new burly XC experience, the 1-Day Rolling Thunder race.

This fresh new event takes place on Maple Mountain, just 10 minutes from the festival grounds. It’s the perfect venue with rugged cross-country terrain that will test you on the uphill and the downhill. Riders can expect chunky, natural tech throughout the course. Exceptions include the new accessible climbing trail and popular Phloem flow trail.

Maple has been a classic stage for the BC Bike Race and was the location of the inaugural MegaVolt eMTB festival.

YOUR RACE FEE INCLUDES:
• Official race T-shirt
• A world-class course designed and managed by the BC Bike Race team
• Inaugural Rolling Thunder Race Plate
