BC BIke Race 2024?

Anyone intending doing the 2024 BC Bike Race?
Was all ready to go last year but broke my ACL 2 months before it so gonna give it another try this year.
Started training proper in Sept once I got the all clear from the surgeon (was doing some unstructured stuff on the Stages bike meantime).

Currently in the build phase of the Mid Volume Cross Country Marathon plan and trying to get at least 1 MTB spin a week to get reacquainted with the trails & bike.
FTP got reset to 240w (was at 285 last April) but the plan is working well as I’m now back to 274w and hoping to hit 300w (4w/kg) by June 2024.
Knee still feels stiff and a bit sore when cornering on the MTB but slowly getting better each spin - should be all sorted by July 2024!
Hopefully we don’t get the same crazy heat they all suffered through this year.

All registered for BCBR '24. First timer for me, been reading and taking notes from other BC BR threads. Was intending to do it this year but work came up. Just need to work out the accommodations options, probably will do the base camp thing.

I’ve been watching many YT vids from this year’s race, looks so much fun. Being relatively close by, Seattle area, travel distance should be fairly simple. Hopefully when weather allows I might do some early recon rides to get familiar with the trails. Still in off-season mode for me, will start getting serious next month!

I did it last year and did a daily video. If you have any questions let me know.
