Whistler hosted the closing stage of the BC Bike Race. For many racers, the stage 7 course was about "staying safe" and simply crossing the finish line; for others, there were boundaries to be pushed and medals to be had.
As with yesterday's stage, the hometown advantage created opportunities for some racers and the podium placements varied from previous stages. The overall results, however, were as expected - based on already established leads.
Max Knox & Branden Stewart (DCM 1) won the final stage for the men's duo teams in 1:26:41. The finished ahead of overall race winners Kris Sneddon & Barry Wicks (Team Kona)
Alana Heise & Kate Aardal (Terralandscape-Hardcore Racing) won the final stage in 3:27:18 and clinched the overall victory in the women's duo category.
Jason Sager (Jamis) won the final solo men's stage ahead of Chris Sheppard, who locked up his overall title.
Among the solo women, overall race winner McQuaid took the final stage.
Finally, World Cup racers Geoff Kabush (Maxxis-Rocky Mountain) & Catharine Pendrel (Luna) won the final stage in the mixed team category as well as the overall.
The event officially came to a close with a banquet at the host hotel and Dave Silver, official BCBR photographer, composed a slideshow that reflected moments captured throughout the seven days of racing. Then, the post-event stage took place where racers danced the lactic acid out of their legs and had their final moments together as the BCBR 2010 alumni.
Race note: Melanie McQuaid, the solo women's winner and three-time Xterra Champion, is in the midst of her training program for this year's events. After every stage McQuaid would set off for a training run or swim.
