The Route
Each year, the BC Bike Race route changes, but has always included Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, and the Sea to Sky Corridor. The 2010 version of the race involved a Prologue on Vancouver's North Shore, then days in Nanaimo, Cumberland, Powell River, Earls Cover to Sechelt, Sechelt to Langdale, Squamish, and Whistler. The 2011 route is yet to be announced.
The event now contains two versions of the race. The Epic (run since 2007) is seven days of racing with the average course length of 60 km each day. The Challenge (run since 2010) is also seven days, but sports an average of 30 km each day. Both options take place at the same time and incorporate the same Base Camps each day.

“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
