More than 150 participants from all over the world gather in British Columbia, the western province of Canada, for this adventurous enduro race, which stops in the towns of Fernie, Panorama, Golden and Revelstock.

René Wildhaber clearly wins the Men 40+ category and is ranked sixth in the overall classification. This was won by Frenchman Jérôme Clementz ahead of Pete Ostroski (USA) and Joseph Nation (NZL). "The very demanding trails were a big challenge, but also a lot of fun. Day three in particular will certainly stay in my memory for a long time, when we rode the "Dead Dog", a well-known and extremely steep trail. The entire race is pure mountain biking over six days," summarizes Wildhaber.

After her successful participation in the Trans Provence in France, the Trans BC Enduro is Monika Büchi's second multi-day stage race this season. She compares the two races as follows: "The two races differ mainly in the character of the route. In British Columbia, practically all the downhill trails are specially built for mountain bikers, whereas the Trans Provence is held on technically demanding old hiking trails." Büchi started the race in eighth place and got faster from day to day. On the last day of the race, she achieved the third-fastest time in two downhill stages. At the end of the six days of racing, she is in fifth place overall. The Canadian Casey Brown climbs onto the podium, ahead of ALN (Andreane Lanthier Nadeau) and Emily Slaco.

Eva Carrer describes the Trans BC Enduro as the best bike adventure of her life: "This week I experienced everything from "I never ride, I'm not tired of life" to "simply fantastic trails". Eva took 22nd place overall.

"The Trans BC Enduro is fascinating and shows what enduro biking is all about - climbing high peaks, magnificent views, unknown trails as well as exploring and pushing your own limits," enthuses Marco Carrer (20th place; Open Men 40+) and will remember the week as an absolute highlight.
