MEDICAL TEAM
Over the last few years, we have developed a one-of-a-kind medical program to effectively manage the challenges of an epic race in British Columbia’s vast terrain. Comprised of paramedics, nurses, and doctors, our highly trained and professional Medical Team members are ready to respond to any incidents on and off course.
OBSESSION: TECH
Service for your bike
Obsession mechanics have been servicing the bikes of BCBR since the event’s inception in 2007. Each of their mechanics have multiple years of experience working in multi-day stage races. These mechanics are considered to be some of the best in the business.
Their Purpose is to aid in ensuring that your bike makes it to the finish line each day.
It is strongly recommended that you source parts at your local bike shop before arriving at BCBR in case we don’t have a part you may need. Please read the list on the Race Documents page outlining suggested parts to bring.
Obsession services include (and are not limited to) daily a la carte servicing as well as their recommended Platinum Tune. Sign up below.
WELLNESS
Competing in an elite multi-day athletic event is no joke. You’ve planned, and prepared, and now you are going to push your body to the max training and throughout race week. Having a solid recovery plan in place at the end of each stage is key to staying injury free and performing at your best.
The BC Bike Race Wellness team is renowned in the sports event world because it is a fully mobile clinic with easy access to experienced Massage Therapists and Chiropractors. We all train and play as hard as you do…and we understand what it takes to stay at the top of our game.
At the end of each stage, you will find us situated right in base camp…just look for the blue Wellness signs. Drop in and stretch, roll out, or schedule a 30-minute treatment of your choice. Receipts for extended insurance can be provided if required. We will also have space on Registration day if you’re interested in a tune-up before Day 1.
To make accessing the treatments as hassle-free as possible (and bypass the line on Registration day), we highly encourage creating an account with us before Day 0. Please e-mail [email protected] if you are interested in creating your account ahead of time. We will keep you on our priority list and then closer to race start, you will receive a link to create your account. Then on Registration Day, you just have to come to see us if you want treatment and we’ll get you booked.
FINISH LINE FOOD
Finish Line Food will have a variety of food, snacks, water and hydration products available to replenish you after a long day in the saddle.
BEER GARDEN
End your day sharing stories with your fellow racers at the chill & beer Lounge! Beers, Bubbly, Water and good times. Sit down, relax and put your feet up post race.
