What do you get when you mix a super-sized helping of twisty, flowing downhill with a bit of climbing, all set within a luscious garden of winding singletrack resurrected amid the long-forgotten trails of Belcarra? The John Henry West Coast Super D on April 10th.

Legendary BC mountain biking supporters John Henry Bikes, Ryders Eyewear and Schwalbe Tires are combining with event organizer West Coast Racing to help bring you a heap of swag and prizes.

This event is run as a time trial and fast times are expected between 10 to 15 minutes.
