Day Two - July 2, 2012

Campbell River

New for 2011, we're pleased to bring BC Bike Race to the seaside community of Campbell River, Salmon Capitol of the World!

We'll transport you to the City of Campbell River first thing and then send you out into the famous Snowden Demonstration Forest. Campbell River's diverse and extensive network of singletrack trails give us the perfect canvas to create this new course.

A teaser of what's in store:

Lost Frog - a classic trail to introduce you to the offerings of the Snowden!

Mudhoney Pass - another great trail in the Lost Lake area with a couple ups and fun downs, leading down to a great view of the lake.

Riley Lake Trail - an old skid road from when the area was initially logged in the 1900s, this route is now rich, mossy, second growth forest. Beautiful!

Distance ~ 50km | Elevation Gain ~ 1005m | Aid 1 ~ 19km | Aid 2 ~ 36km
Start - Campbell River | Finish - Campbell River

Distance ~ 33km | Elevation Gain ~ 660m | Aid 1 ~ 21km

Base Camp Highlights

Our finish line for Day Two will be right in front of Base Camp at Robert Ostler Park.

What's so special about today's Base Camp? Well, it's right on the water AND beside all the restaurants, stores, and other ammenities you could possibly want! We'll be eating in the Campbell River Community Centre, just a stone's throw away from Base Camp. We know you'll be amazed by the beauty of Campbell River once you arrive here!
