“Seven years ago I raced the TransAlp, an eight-day stage race across the Alps” Paul Burwell explains. “It was long, mainly fire road and I hated it. I said never again until I heard about the BC Bike Race, a similar format but mostly on singletrack. I’ve wanted to do it for a while and this year I had my chance”.
