Our most recent trip started in June 2022 from Banff, Canada, following the Divide Trail south to Fernie, before heading west to join the BC Trail all the way to Vancouver.

• After 21 days of riding we have made it! Covering 1001 miles from Banff to Vancouver, we arrive in the sunshine and still smiling!

• We’ve gone as far as we can on the Rail Trail. The KVR past Princeton was washed out by storms last year so we have some highway riding to get us the rest of the way. Still managed to find this beautiful camp spot by Copper Creek, just a stones throw from the highway.

• Met so many other cyclists camping at Chain Lake Rex site. Our final pass on the Rail Trail, finishing in the warmest lake swim yet!

  3 Jul 2022 18:43

• Rail trail out of Castlegar includes trestle bridges and tunnels and terrific views over Arrow Lake. Longest tunnel is over 900m long, a record breaker in its day.

  30 Jun 2022 11:34

• Expected rain and river floods today, but the weather stayed dry and so did the trail. Very narrow sandy trail today hugging the bank of the Columbia River through thick undergrowth.

  29 Jun 2022 20:03

• First swim of the trip. It’s started to get really sunny so it’s a great way to finish the day at Moyie Lake.

  25 Jun 2022 20:40

  25 Jun 2022 11:40
