It's the May long weekend and there is a storm on the way.
The 430km Buckshot Route is difficult enough on it's own... now add freezing rain, malicious hail, cruel snow and lashing winds. What will break down first? Mind, body or bike?
The resolve and will-power of over 70 cyclists will be put to the test against a violent weather system, a brutal course and a lineup of some of the fiercest competitors around.
This event is completely self-supported and unofficial. Individuals are entirely responsible for themselves.

Dude that was sooo good! You definitely undersold how difficult you had it during the last hours of the race, seeing it here I’m just wowed at how strong you finished with so many curveballs thrown your way!

Ah man, thanks Kodi! Looking back now, I feel like there is maybe more I could have done to stay competitive, but I'm also so happy with how things turned out. Also as happy as I am for your incredible finish!

Thanks Mike, as someone who dropped out around km 100km it was nice to see what the rest of the course was like! I'm considering heading to Cranbrook for Lost Elephant so maybe I'll see ya there.

Dean, I thought of you ALOT that morning. I don't know how you SS folks do it. Your knees must be made of titanium. That slow cadence pedaling did a number on me... and it was only like 2.5 - 3 hours. Thinking of doing that for the whole 🐘 blows my small mind. I salute you sir 🫡

You're incredible! This filming and production are amazing - I'm not sure how you found the space to film given those conditions. Wow! Such tough luck with the mechanicals. Figure it was the cold temps that drained your AXS batteries? I rode the entire BC Epic on a single AXS battery last year! Must have been the cold, eh? Favourite moment: Robyn's videobomb "WE'RE HAVING A DECENT TIME!" Good on you for even completing that. Looked like a scratch in Pritchard and just saying "fugg it!" would have been what most would have done. Sweet vid, Mike.

You're so kind Steve! Thanks man. Definitely wasn't the cold. It started to exhibit issues early in the day after the first mud bath. It would downshift completely fine, but shifting up to large cogs would take 5-7 seconds. I think it was taxing the motor for these shifts, and drank the battery infinitly faster than normal. Very strange. It's working fine now too... so who knows. Missed you out there buddy!

You finished only 20 minutes behind your buddies, at least you didn't fall to far behind. The last league still must have been lonely though.

It felt like a long stretch for sure, but I was pretty focused on just not breaking another chain, so I completely forgot I was alone. Was so relieved to roll into town still pedaling!

Amazing effort. I always wonder if it's worth running electric gears. I own 2 bikes with electric gears but for these endurance races it makes me wonder if it's worth it or not..

Thanks Paul! It's hard to say. I'm sure it was just bad luck. I've had a decent track record with AXS so far. The alarming thing is that the Derailleur seems fine now. Doesn't inspire confidence... Cheers!

I think those kids cokes on an “unsupported” race can be considered “support” ….. need to look at the rules in detail … you need to be careful with the little things that may seem harmless
