Video: A Short Film About Discovering One's Own Backyard with Casey Brown, Georgia Astle & Micayla Gatto in 'The Back Forty'

May 7, 2021 at 11:12
by Martin Faubert-Smith  

Casey Brown, Micayla Gatto, and Georgia Astle head out on the road to explore British Columbia and Yukon’s beautiful mountain bike communities. The plan is to start at the very bottom of the province and make their way up to Whitehorse, where there is word of amazing new trail networks and unique alpine riding. With global travel being shut down, it was an amazing opportunity to stay home and enjoy the world-class terrain.

 I can't promise the Manitoba version of this is going to be quite as inspiring, but I really appreciate that others are taking on these 'stay at home' challenges too. The perfect trip isn't always far away.

 It bugs me to see this "essential" travel situation happening. Like you said: the perfect trip isn't far from home Smile

 @prmtb04: Cases were low then, the government announced we had flattened the curve and I believe the only restrictions were gatherings of more than 50 people. If I remember correctly, they say it's September or close to it.

 @JayUpNorth: Supposedly. It's not ideal regardless. However, hese athletes are from communities far away from Vernon/Revelstoke and Vancouver, and Squamish. it's a good series no doubt. But I don't get and that's fine

 @makripper: 100% true. I just don't feel comfortable travelling outside PG quite yet. The restrictions will drop when a high percentage of us are vaccinated.

 @JayUpNorth: I hear ya. I'm in the west kootenays. And technically I think we can go to the okanagan. I have zero interest to at this time.

 @makripper: Technically, you can go to PG as Interior Health and Northern Health are part of the same zone.
