We've been training hard all year, and now on Thursday we head to Victoria, BC to get ready to enjoy the reward for all of our work - racing our mountain bikes for a solid week on the west coast!
650 km's of trail and over 11kms of vertical gain should provide 7 epic days of some of the best mountain biking on the planet with some of the top racers in the world.
My partner Stewart (also of Chelsea) and I are ready to roll!
Race Date: June 28 - July 4, 2008
Location: Victoria to Whistler, BC, Canada
# of Teams: 150 teams of 2, 20 teams of 4
After posting daily blog updates from the Transrockies in 2006, I was overwhelmed by the positive feedback.
So much in fact, that nearly a dozen people have asked me to do it again.
So... following each stage, I'll try to write up a report which will be posted on:
www.bcbikerace.blogspot.com <http://www.bcbikerace.blogspot.com/>
I'll try to keep it descriptive and interesting, so I invite you to make it part of your morning routine and join us in our adventure!
For more info on this event, check out www.bcbikerace.com <http://www.bcbikerace.com/>
Also check out our spin-off team's (just kidding) blog: <http://teamwinded.blogspot.com/> http://teamwinded.blogspot.com
Keep in mind that it will all be done on a Blackberry after 4-8 hours of riding, 5000-7500 calories burned and 20,000-40,000 revolutions per leg/day. It may contain typo's...
Sign up on the site and post your feedback, questions, etc.
Let the vacation begin!!!!!
