Cycling BC’s Premier Road Series took to the streets of Victoria June 6 and 7 as part of the Robert Cameron Law Cycling Series. The BC Premier series has been part of BC’s top road races, and tracks the rider’s results over the course of these select races. The overall series winners will be invited to the Cycling BC Awards banquet on October to receive their award.
