Greetings Western Canadians,
My core riding group (we're all from Ontario) are looking to head out to BC this summer for a week of epic riding. We are still unsure of whether we will fly into Calgary and do the interior, or fly to Vancouver and ride the coast.
For some background info... we're a tight group of 5 guys that like epic riding. Most of all we love technical riding. We're all on 6" all travel AM bikes and happy to be on the trail for 6-8 hours every day. We're thinking 7 days. If we do the coast, we were thinking of topping the trip off with a float plane drop.
Logistically, we usually rent a large van to carry our bikes and gear, and try to find reasonable accommodations. We're normally pretty bagged at the end of the day so we aren't too fussy about lavish lodgings.
Any tips or opinions on rides, locations, lodging etc. would be greatly appreciated. Would also like to hook up with other riders to show us around as well if we're in the area. I want to set an itinerary of the best rides based on feedback from local riders rather than show up and be looking for trails.
cheers, and thanks! :thumbsup:
Phil
PS: We've done the North Shore / Whistler thing on big bikes already, so we're not looking for that type of stuff this time 'round.
