The legendary BC Bike Race is underway! This seven-day stage race is a tour of some of the best trails in British Columbia. Cumberland Island hosted the first stage of the week and conditions looked to be hot, dry, and dusty.

I can tell you from personal experience, this week is one of the best times you’ll ever have on your bike. If you’re interested in this race be sure to jump on registration when it opens at the conclusion of this year’s event. Inevitably it will sell out, and seems to do so faster each year!

Check out the video and photos below to give you an idea of what you’d be getting yourself into.
