Stage 2 - June 29: Cowichan Lake District - Port Alberni, 125km
Sprint finish decides longest stage
|
Stage two, the longest of the week, threw racers onto 124km of active logging road cutting through the Cowichan and Alberni valleys enroute to Port Alberni. Though the race profile appeared to highlight massive, gruelling climbs and descents, the actual elevation gain only capped out at 193m, making for a fast, undulating course.
Seasoned race MC, Drew Bragg, teased racers about the lengthy road-race style stage before the start, "How many of you are here for the ultimate singletrack experience? …well this isn't it!" Racers caught on early that this would be a road-style race and planned their strategies accordingly.
Once again the Trek Volkswagon pairing of Chris Eatough and Jeff Schalk found themselves in the heat of a sprint finish - this time a three-team battle for top honours in this stage. When the dust had settled, Australians Tim Bennett and Adrian Jackson (Team Flight Centre) were first to blast both riders across the finish line in 4:21:48. Eatough and Schalk were a tight second, stopping the clock in the same time. Kris Sneddon and Barry Wicks of Team Kona were only 11 seconds behind, snagging third place.

With a frustrating start yesterday that left them 25 minutes behind the race pack, the Trek-Volkswagon team are fast becoming the story of the race. They now sit merely two minutes back from the overall race leaders, Team Mona Vie Cannondale's Jason Sager and Bart Gillespie, who suffered a flat near the end of stage two that left them 10 minutes behind Team Kona for the day.
"It felt like a recovery race for the first half; but the last half turned more stressful. We were in a race with Kona and Flight Centre from the singletrack onward," said Trek-VW's Eatough. "The race is starting again and it's good to be back in it."
Eatough's partner, Jeff Schalk commented on their hard-fought battle to the top, "It just takes consistency. Yesterday we were 30 minutes back. A lot can happen in a seven-day race."

For the second day in a row, the sun beat down on the 400+ BC Bike Race competitors, making hydration a key factor again. The continued hot, dry conditions turned the unpaved logging road into a dust bowl that stirred up quickly and settled on racers from head to toe, but that didn't slow them down. Riders formed into huge peletons early on and powered through the first 114km until pack-thinning climb ultimately separated the strongest from the bunch.
The final two kilometesr of fun, swooping, zippy singletrack faded the logging road to distant memories - just long enough to bring racers across the finish line thoroughly exhausted, dusty and happy.
On the women's side, Sarah Bresnick-Zocchi and Kelli Emmett (Taint Slo), repeated their yellow jersey win with a time of 4:51:50, which places them more than an hour ahead of their competition in the overall standings. "We heard it was a road day today, so we got in a group and played it like a road day," said Emmett.
It was repeat top honours in all remaining categories - Wendy Simms and Normon Thibault (Kona - Riding in Memory of Denis Fontaine) in the Open Mixed category; Veterans 80+ jersey to Different Bikes / Deadgoat Racing partners Andrew Handford and Pat Doyle; and brothers Brian and Bruce Johnson (Double Shot) in the Combined 100+.
Stage 3 - June 30: Port Alberni - Cumberland, 80km
The next stage runs from Port Alberni to Cumberland. Competitors will put their pack riding skills to good use on the day's first 60km of logging road, after which they'll sample some of the flowing singletrack trails that are quickly putting the small town of Cumberland on the mountain biking map.
