Here's the day's race profile (click photo to enlarge):
Some teasers include:
Bevan and Bear's Bait - super fast, fun mature trail systems that will let you reach the speeds you want to as you follow along the Puntledge river.
Screamin' Demon, River Rats, Two Pond pass, Sapporo Steeps, Puntledge Plunge, KMA and Transmission - Hold on to your handlebars, take in the view and test your limits as you descend down Forbidden Plateau to the Valley below. This trail network is characterized by high speed descending and rocky outcrops giving great views of the Comox Glacier, Comox Lake, The Gulf Island and the Coastal Range across Johnston Strait.
Two and a Juice, Buggered Pig, Tea Pot, Short and Curly, Soggy Biscuit, Black Hole and Space Nugget - Make sure you save some energy for this string of trails! A brief technical climb gives way to a matching descent all the way to the finish line!
