BC Bike Race, TranRockies...

There has been a lot of racing since my last blog entry, and I got sick a couple of times. One of the highlights was the B.C. Bike Race. Though my form was good going into this event, I was not quite sure because I had a rough Test of Metal. The BCBR started in Shawnigan Lake and 7 days later ended in Whistler. Went through some of the finest single-track in the world. My partner Barry and I won stage 4 in my home town of Sechelt, which was on Canada day, and took the overall victory a couple days later in Whistler.

Then it was back to normal MTB racing Canadian nationals were I ended up 14th not so good, and two world cups 26th and 34th... sort of mediocre performances.

I figured it would be fun to end on a epic note so I talked Max P into doing Trans Rockies, holy that is an epic race! Completely different than BCBR (lots of granny gear climbing and hike a bike) Max and I ended up second.
