Full Stoke! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago, we received an invite to race the Full Stoke, a 3-day stage race in the mountain town of Revelstoke, BC. Race Director, Jacob Puzey, and his girlfriend, Jade Lenning, had nothing but positive things to say about the trails in the region and eager to see more of BC, we readily said yes.
