PORCA's Big Day Out
Get Ready for PORCA’s big day out, the latest iteration of a long-running tradition of big, gruelling days on Pemberton singletrack.
Back in 2009, the NIMBY Fifty was born under the guidance of Dean Linnell, Russ Wood and Terry Evans. This gruelling marathon mass start XC race ran for ten years, and eventually became the inspiration for Sylvie to develop the Fifty that you all came to know and love (love to hate?) during covid. Sylvie’s Fifty was born at a time were all trying to get outside desperately, but had to do so separately, and thankfully that time has passed.
Along the way, the goal has remained the same: to push the limits of yourself and your friends and ride some of the best single track in the world.
The original Nimby Fifty was a mass start sprint. The Pemby Fifty was an all-week event. We’re taking the best of both and have hopefully come up with a day everyone's going to love.
This year we’re all going to start, and finish (hopefully) on the same day, and ride the same trails together!
And, in the spirit of a true XC event, for the first time were going to have a short course - the Big Day Out XCO! Whether you’re new to longer rides, pushed to time, or would rather sprint than chill, we hope that the XCO could be the ride for you.
Same big day as ever before, but with more friends, old and new, to help push you to your limits on the trails.
What to expect?
A BIG day out. The full course is going to be 50+ km and 2000m+ of climbing, the short course will be 30 ish and around 1000m. There will be a couple of aid-ish stations around the course, and some recommended pit stops, but it's largely self-supported, so come prepared
We will have a limited run of t-shirts featuring the amazing artwork of Toyah to order before the event - make sure not to miss them because when they’re gone theyre gone! Pre-order during registration online.
We are excited to launch two options:
No matter what your “push it limit “ is, you can do all, some, or any amount. Push your limits for a good cause
The fully-loaded 50k
The Half-loaded 25k
COURSES COMING SOON
THE DOUGH: $20 sign up option to add on a limited edition t-shirt.
You need a Porca membership to participate.
This is a self-supported group ride. There is NO coaching or guides.

One of our favourite FREE ways to kick off bike season, the 30x30 invites you to ride 30 minutes a day for 30 days from April 1–30. This year, we’re also stoked to introduce a new, more user-friendly tracking system to make logging your rides easier than ever.
Riders of all ages, experience levels, and abilities are welcome. All you need is something with pedals and a little persistence, and you’ll be entered to win some sweet prizes!
We’re so excited to bring this challenge back for its 5th year, once again in partnership with Elevate Bike Shop, who are throwing in an awesome Grand Prize for our 30-day finishers.
How the Challenge Works
From April 1–30, participants commit to riding at least 30 minutes each day. Rides (including trail work) are logged through our new, easy-to-use online tracking platform, allowing you to follow your progress throughout the month.
All types of riding count, including:
Mountain biking
Commuting or riding to school
Gravel or road riding
Indoor cycling
and Trail work!
Prizes
To keep the motivation rolling, we’ll be giving away prizes throughout the challenge. You can join at anytime but only those completing 30 days will be entered into the grand prize.

Here’s how the weeks break down (since April 1 falls mid-week):

FAQ
Can I join late?
Yes! You can join anytime during the challenge. Just start logging your minutes and challenge yourself. Prizes are selected based on completing full weeks (for weekly prizes) and for completing all 30 days (grand prize). But the real win is challenging yourself and getting out to ride your bike!
Do you check Strava or other tracking apps?
No. This challenge runs on the honour system. We trust participants to be honest. If you’d like extra motivation, you’re welcome to join our Strava group to share your rides and connect with others.
Can I do an hour one day and skip the next day?
No. The challenge is designed to encourage daily movement. To qualify for weekly and grand prizes, you must log your minutes each day during the challenge period.
How do I find out if I won a prize?
We will contact winners by email using the email address associated with your membership account. Please make sure your contact information is up to date!
Does it need to be all at once?
The 30 minutes can be done all at once or broken up into smaller chunks of time. However, the total for the day needs to add up to at least 30 minutes
I have more questions.
No problem! Reach out to us at:
