Stage 2 will take riders from Fernie’s Historic Downtown to Coal Creek Summit and on a single track trail named Porkypine Rim that drops to the Elk River from the ridge near Hosmer.
This 4000ft descent will approx take fast riders 20-25minutes, the ridgeline you see in backgrounds of some frames is where you descend from.
