The second part of the Rocky Mountain Bikes team trip had us traveling from Canada's surf capital of Tofino, to mid-island, for a couple of days in a sleeper of a bike town, and the Island's best kept secret...Cumberland. After Cumberland, we travelled to the Island's Eastern coast, and blue collar working town of Campbell River, to languish in its textbook-perfect single track. Then we headed north and got weird with the locals in the fishing and forestry town of Port McNeill. Lastly, to finish off the trip in the true spirit of adventure and exploration, we took a water taxi to the tiny, remote Island of Alert Bay, to discover whatever happened to be there. The team would also dwindle down as the days went on. We lost Brett Tippie to a speaking engagement after Cumberland, and Thomas Vanderham to a movie, after Campbell River. Leaving Geoff Gullevich, the uber-talented slopestyle rockstar, and Andreas Hestler, the ex-Olympian turned Enduro slayer, to ride out the last two legs of the trip.
But in all seriousness that sounds epic. I don't know if its possible but the west coast trail would be an absolutely epic ride. Hopefully you guys tried that out but there's always next time!
