The 2026 edition of the BC Bike Race marked the 20th anniversary of this legendary multi-day stage race and was the last full seven-day edition, with the race moving to a new format for 2027. Not wanting to miss out on the original format of this iconic event, Freehub founder Brandon Watts and friend of the publication, Spencer Astra, teamed up to compete in the Team of Two category. Riding blind and sampling Vancouver Island’s variety of singletrack from Cumberland to Cowichan, the “Freehub Crew” rounded out day seven by securing third place in their division while sporting pink tutus. Look good, feel good, race good?

With so much of Jill’s riding happening between the tape, when the pressure is on and the stakes are high, a good old-fashioned trail rip is a real treat—especially when it’s on her hometown trails of Bellingham, Washington. Here’s what a rowdy backyard trail ride is like for Jill Kintner, from her point of view.
Everyone interprets a trail differently, and while there’s no wrong way, there are certainly some more impressive ways.
