Day 2 of the BCBR showed no signs of mercy, once again. 125+km of grueling logging roads due to a high snow volumes that still remain from an epic winter. The leader board is starting to take shape and the fatigue for some, and conditioning for others is starting to set in.

Team EB had a strong day on Day 2, choosing to team up and work as a pack to get through the blistering heat and long road miles. From here, the riders get to start to sink their tires into the great single track that BC is known for.

Endless Biking currently sits in 3rd place in the 4 person team category in the overall classification. More updates daily...

The BC Bike Race is officially under way and team EB is off to a good start. Choosing to pace out the first 2-3 days could really pay off as riders are forced to deal with sweltering heat, dehydration plus the mechanical challenges of putting on such long mileage each day.

Day 1 included a story-book like day from returning champions, Chris Eatough and his partner as they had mechanical issues before even getting out of the initial staging area. With both riders bikes have deraileurs ripped off, they were forced to give the pack a solid 15 minute head-start and have to deal with passing 400 riders to make their way back to the top. Special thanks to James and Fraser of Obsession:Bikes, check out these life-saving photos.

With dozens of bewildered spectators at the finish, The returning champs had battled all the way through the field for a sprint finish for 3rd and 4th place. Wow!

"I've been extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to ride my mountain bike all over the world, and also to have dabbled in every aspect of mountain biking. That and the fact that I call the "North Shore" home give me an all-encompassing perspective on this wonderful sport, and I love to share that knowledge with riders wanting to improve their skills. Each discipline of riding relates to the other, and until you have an understanding of this, your improvements will be limited. I want to help you reach your goals!" -Wade Simmons
