What is most definitely the biggest and most challenging stage of the entire tour.  2 major mountain ascents over an incredible 188km in temperatures sure to reach the mid to high 30's

this day rivals those in any major pro tour including the Tour de France.

A bit of a recovery day after 3 very big climbing days to start the tour.  We rode this Stage last year but in reverse and at a blistering 34km pace into a brutal head wind the last 30km.  Looking forward to riding it in a different direction this year, hopefully with a tailwind!  A few small climbs at the end of the day but overall a needed break before the big climbs in the second half of the tour.

After the big climb on stage #2, stage #3 will be one of the toughest days of the tour with more significant climing and big km's.

Day two will take us from Whistler to Lilloet where we will tackle one the of the steepest and highest mountain passes in Canada.  With grades reaching 12%, averaging between 9 and 10% for 12km the Duffy Lake climb will be a huge wake up call to the 8 days ahead!
