This one had some surprises (BC Bike Race Day 4 - Nanaimo)

It's Day 4 of BC Bike Race and the circus has moved up the coast to Nanaimo, BC, for a stage that...rumor has it, is a bit heavy on the gravel road climbs. However, we found this stage to be full of surprises, some pleasant, some less so.

We last raced BC Bike Race in 2019 as a Co-Ed Duo Team and it was rough, with mechanicals and injuries plaguing us throughout the week. Four years later, we're back to try it again, this time both racing in the Solo Pro Category.

Over the next 7 days, we’ll be racing 180 miles, climbing 25,000 feet and battling some truly brutal conditions. It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be rugged. It’s going to be dusty. It’s going to be very, very hot. And while we might be in the best shape of our lives, with world class competition and temperatures in the 90s, well, this week is going to push us to the absolute limit.
