Chris Writes.

As some of you out there already know, I’ve headed off on a grand adventure this week to race the TransRockies – a 7-day mountain bike race in my birth province of British Columbia, covering 550km, and climbing a few meters shy of 18,000.  The answer to your next question is, of course, “Because it was there”.

My teammate, Mike Cushionbury from Bicycling Magazine, will be providing daily commentary at their site.  Assuming that our internet connections work, you can follow his version of our story here.

I’m planning on doing my own commentary as well, which I’ll post here on the Specialized Riders Club.
