The BC Bike Race is making its return to the Cowichan Valley from June 30 to July 2, bringing with it one of the largest and most prestigious stage mountain bike races in the world.
Over the course of three days, hundreds of riders from around the globe will take on a series of challenging off-road routes carved through Vancouver Island’s rugged backcountry. The event tests participants’ endurance, technical skills, and determination as they navigate through forests, climbs, and descents unique to the region.
Matt Grossnickel from Cycle Therapy in Duncan says it’s a great opportunity for locals to get involved — even if you’re not racing.
Community members are encouraged to show up, cheer on the riders, and be part of the vibrant atmosphere that surrounds this internationally recognized race.
