All cyclists can benefit from experiencing a training camp that prepares you for your upcoming season. Like the pro’s, getting together to build base, discuss seasonal logistics and share knowledge, training camps should be worked into every ones program.”

BCBR Management Team Monthly Report

At the beginning of this month the BCBR Management Team held their monthly face-to-face at the amazing Shawnigan Lake School...which also happens to be the location for Days 0 & 1 of this year's BCBR event.

Shawnigan Lake School will be a great host location for racers, support crew, media, and everyone else involved at the start of the BC Bike Race.

Andreas Hestler captured the essence of the weekend in both pictures and words, which we've posted in the What's New section for you to explore.

Catch you next month!
