Salmon Arm is proud to host its first BC Cup Road Event. The team time trail format is a unique event on the calender, and should provide an interesting challenge for all participants.
The out and back course features a rolling start and finish, with the rest being flat, and fast. The race will be held in the beautiful Salmon Valley, punctuated by Mount Ida to the East and and Fly Hills to the West. This area was victim to the wildfire of 1999, and the burn areas still scar the hills.
The road race will use the Salmon Valley as well, but will climb up Fly Hills along Yankee Flats Road. A long climb up is rewarded by a fast downhill back onto Salmon Valley Road.
