Update

We're less than a month away from the inaugural running of the race, and we've got some news!

The RCMP - A Career Nowhere Near Ordinary
We're excited to announce that the RCMP has come on board with the race, and that the event will now be known as "The Bearspaw Open, presented with The RCMP - A Career Nowhere Near Ordinary". The RCMP is hiring, and will have recruiting staff on-site at Race HQ throughout race day. Forget ordinary. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police offers meaningful work, vast opportunities, the chance to serve across Canada and a career like no other. Visit www.rcmp.ca for more details on a career nowhere near ordinary with the RCMP. Be sure to keep an eye out for the new heritage edition retro highway patrol cruisers and Harley Davidson motorbikes as part of the race caravan on course. The Mounties will also be providing traffic safety services, and will have lots of displays at the Race HQ expo area. They will also be installing 2 speed trap display signs on the course, 1 on the 12 Mile Coulee Road descent, and 1 on the fast rollers on Hamilton Dr., so we'll be able to communicate speeds back to the festivities at Race HQ.

The Campione Cycles Climb
Campione Cycles has signed on with The Bearspaw Open, presented with The RCMP - A Career Nowhere Near Ordinary, as the sponsor of the Campione Climb to the finish. The Campione Climb goes from the exit of Corner 3 all the way to the finish at Race HQ on Nagway Road, and will be the decisive obstacle of the race. Stay tuned for a possible "Campione KOM" competition within the race.

Established in 1996, Campione Cycles is the final version in a long line of bicycle stores. The product of four generations in the bicycle industry, Campione can trace its lineage back to the province of Trentino in Italy, and parallel to the expansion of professional road racing in Canada.

We are a brick and mortar bicycle company with stores in Vancouver and Calgary.

Campione Cycles remains 100% family owned and operated.
