Dressed up, not down.

I am VERY interested and SERIOUSLY considering competing in the BC Bike Race in 2010. I am considering doing it solo, but I would rather share this incredible experience with a team of two or four, co-ed or all male.

I don't 'need' to win the category I'm entered in, but I do want to push myself AND enjoy the trails. I hope you are interested in these goals as well. I'm looking for potential teammates who are ADVANCED XC riders (but not necessarily racers) and who I can rely on and who can rely on me... a good foundation for a team as some days are going to be harder on different riders. Good points to take note of is that teams must finish each stage together and there are cut-off times: once we're out, we're out! Fitness is THE priority for this race, again not to win, but to enjoy every stage!

If you have questions about the race go to the website... http://www.bcbikerace.com/, it's all there, costs, logistics, training tips, photos, deadlines, etc.

Lastly, I'd like to get a potential team together by mid-December, '09.

If you have questions, comments or proposals for me, reply to this posting or email me through the forum.

Apparently there are going to be video previews of each stage: http://bb.nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=127973

Thinking 2011, good luck finding a team, shouldn't be too hard as it is a great race.

If anyone has Shaw VOD, there is a "Ride Guide" episode featuring the 2008 (I think) race in the free section.

Two interested people so far... a coed team it might be.

Yes, I'm in the same boat, or bucket, as Matt and want to do this at some point. Maybe 2011. Is there a 4 person team option?
