OH Canada!

So British Columbia will host the Olympics ? Great, but if you don\'t want the crowds and would rather ride than slide you should check out Canada\'s entry into the world of ultra-endurance cycling, \"The BC 5000.\"

The inaugural event begins August 1st, 2010 in Whistler, BC and riders have two ultra circuits to chose from -  the Prince George Circuit 2,660 kilometers or \"Le Grand Loop,\" the Watson Lake Circuit which is an amazing 5,000 kilometre long journey. The race is open to soloists, 2, 4 and 8 rider relay teams.

No qualifications are necessary but you better be prepared.

It\'s Canada\'s answer to the Race Across America, held on a breathtaking and incredibly demanding course.
