BCBR 2026 is a wrap!

Same, but Different: Back to BCBR I first competed in the BC Bike Race in 2024, thanks to the support of Rocky Mountain Bikes, and in the process, formed a new posse of friends. When we saw that the 2026 edition of BCBR would be th…

This weekend, Jenna Burke () raced the Black Bear Enduro. She was the first place beginner racer! 🥇🎉

Her post-race report:
I had a blast at the Black Bear Enduro! Made some great connections and loved riding somewhere new. The trails were steeper and more technical than what I’m used to riding so it definitely got me out of my comfort zone. During the pre-ride I felt a little in over my head but glad I kept riding through the stages and stuck with it. I was pleasantly surprised with my energy levels during practice and the race itself. No doubt the training plan worked! Ultimately my goal was to push myself and ride the best that I could and felt like I accomplished that. Looking forward to entering more enduro races in the future!

Thank you to the sponsors who have stepped up to help support these women, as well as the race directors who are a part of this scholarship:
