My MTB Dream

On Foxtel the other night I watched a race called the BCBike Race. I was instantly hooked and this is now my dream to compete in this race.

Basically it is a stage race over 7 days (approx 70km each day) over British Columbia in Canada. The only thing stopping me competing in next years BC Bike Race is lack of funds for the airfare and lack of fitness! Other than that I'm there. For me now I am in another race. A race to find the funds to get there and the fitness to finish, all before my body gets too old to contemplate it. I have a dream, now to turn it into a goal.

The BCBike race site www.bcbikerace.com descibes it as...

"Picture this... one epic journey... two mountain bike tires spinning toward a common goal... three podium spots awaiting at the end of each stage... four scenic ferry sailings... five mental breakdowns on your quest to the finish... six nights to meet new friends from across the globe... seven days of spectacular west coast mountain biking... and countless incredible tales of your legendary adventure that will keep you pumped for weeks to come!

With an epic route designed and endorsed by super endurance mountain bike racer, Andreas Hestler, BC Bike Race is in a class of its own. The lure of riding the best of BC's world-class mountain bike trails has already attracted a broad range of BC Bike Race competitors, from hardcore weekend warriors to some of the world's finest mountain bike stage racers.
