Today is the official Day Zero of the BC Bike Race and the day begins with an exciting 'Time Trial' Style 5 km rip through some of the world famous North Shore (North Vancouver for those not familiar) trail.

While we don't have an update on the course we will provide one at the end of the day along with our results of Day Zero.
