(Duncan, BC) Participants taking part in the Burnt Bridge Classic / Canadian Gravel Championships on June 14 should be mindful of licensing requirements.

All riders competing in Canadian Championship categories (Elite, U19, U17) must have a valid UCI license, with the exception of Masters categories who must possess at minimum, a provincial license. There will be no one-day or citizen licenses issued for Canadian Championship categories.
For the Open Non Championship categories (Impulso, Intermedio, Esperto), a race license is not required but it is encouraged. For more information visit here.
Some Important Items to Bring
• Minimum 2 bottles, even a Camelbak type of drinking setup.
• Seat bag, handlebar bag, to store tools food, try not to have all your gear in your back pockets of your jersey.
• 45mm – 50mm wide Tires are highly recommended in order to avoid pinch flats or punctures. There are sharp rocks on some of the descents (Don’t inflate your tires to hard or too soft). 30psi is usually a good pressure.
