The BC Cup Virtual Race Series presented by Cobotix and hosted in partnership between Cycling BC and Echelon Racing Promotions will see pro and amateur riders from all over the world take on four races between April and May on the RGT Cycling online platform. The racecourses on the RGT Cycling platform emulate real roads and routes used for in-real-life events around the world. Pre-registration for the races is required and riders can register for each race individually or for the whole series. Registration is free for anyone holding a current Cycling BC membership licence or a licence from another cycling association. Register at cyclingbc.net/virtualbccup.
The series schedule is as follows,
Now that you know the courses, let’s get to know some of the riders who will be riding in the BC Cup Virtual Series via Tom Terblanche’s ‘Pain Cave Convos.’
Tom Terblanche is a 17-year-old road racer from North Vancouver, BC. He races for Red Truck Racing P/B Mosaic Homes and enjoys racing road and gravel. A former competitive swimmer and a top-10 BC High School Cross Country athlete, Tom is a climber with a severe sprinting allergy who can be found riding all around Vancouver. A stint in the world of musical and improv theatre has given Tom the ability to awkwardly ask athletes about their racing experiences in front of a camera. A special shoutout and thank you to Tom for putting together all these riders videos.
