***If you have not already done so, please be sure to complete the racer survey that is posted here. Without this information we will not have t-shirt and jersey sizes for you and no one wants to miss out on those!***

We recommend arriving in Vancouver a few days prior to the start of the race so that you are well rested and prepared. The very latest you must be in North Vancouver by is 8am on Saturday, June 29th to allow enough time to register, build/check your bike and pack/check your racer bag.

You will be able to pick up your racer bags on Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29.  All racers are also required to be registered and have checked-in their bikes and baggage by 10AM ON SATURDAY, JUNE 29TH

All participants must attend a mandatory racer meeting in North Vancouver on Saturday, June 29th. A race week schedule will be posted on our website soon with exact times and further details.

If you are arriving early to North Vancouver and would like to check out the local trails and get a taste of and perhaps some coaching in our rooty backyard, check out our friends at Endless Biking. Endless biking offers guided tours and instruction, they also offer rental bikes for race week should you decide not to travel with your bike. Be sure to mention BC Bike Race when you call!

Do you have a tent-mate yet? Included in your registration is a four person sized tent that you will share with one other racer. If you are on a team you will automatically be paired with your teammate, unless you have requested otherwise. If you are racing solo but have a friend you would like to share with, please email us with your tent-mate request.

We are currently sold out of solo tent upgrades, we have a limited amount to offer due to the size of our basecamps. We do however have a wait list should more become available, if you would like to be on this wait list, please email us.

Please note that your tent only comes with a foam sleeping mat, you will need to pack a pillow, sleeping bag and additional padding (should you choose), and ensure that it it will all fit into your racer bag. Don't forget your earplugs, just in case!

If you have specific questions for our bike tech team ahead of time please feel free to email them. Once again the awesome team from Obsession:Bikes will be handling all of your repairs during race week, pumping up your tires at the start line and working through the nights so that you can race in the morning!  We look forward to having this fantastic and colourful team back!
