Working with the local clubs and regional expertise, the BC Bike Race is excited to continue its evolution and journey, sharing all that makes BC one of the greatest mountain bike destinations in the world. All of us are truly fortunate to live in a time where the bikes are at the pinnacle of our short history and the trail inventory beyond our wildest expectations. Mountain Biking and singletrack development has been a growing piece of community pride within each town in British Columbia, and it would be nearly impossible in one current lifetime to actually ride every trail, but we are certainly going to try.

Join us this year, in 2022 as we explore the incredibly beautiful and scenic Okanagan, from the North to the South and all stops in between!
