The adventurous sport of long distance cycling – from family day trips to gran fondos and other organized group races – is growing in popularity every year
This compact guide details the major highways of British Columbia with excursions through the Rocky Mountain areas of Jasper and Banff, Alberta. It includes trips that explore BC from the Vancouver coast and mainland to Vancouver Island with many of the south coastal islands included as well. Cycle Port Hardy and catch a ferry to the cycling adventures of Haida Gwaii. Go the distance from Vancouver to northern BC via the Cariboo, Prince George and through to Prince Rupert. Other trips include routes through the southern Interior, through the West and East Kootenays and more.
Maps and vertical profiles will help plan trips by showing the terrain; brief road descriptions also tell what to expect on the road ahead. Coil bound for easy handling and designed to fit in a bar bag, this guide will help you enjoy some of the most beautiful, diverse and challenging cycling found anywhere.
Paul Wood survived a serious car accident that forced him to cycle everywhere and ultimately led him to discover the enjoyment of long distance cycling throughout BC.
