    Free Candy Tour // Episode 5 On Island Time

    • Series Page

    British Columbia’s coastal islands are located within eyeshot of the mainland and accessed by just a short ferry ride or two from Vancouver. However, upon arrival it felt like we had been transported to an alternate universe, or at least a different time zone. Cell reception was spotty at best, traffic and crowds simply didn’t exist, and 11 a.m. seemed to be the start of business hours. The pace of life was so relaxing that we almost forget to ride our bikes. When we did, we were greeted with low angle, ripping trails and hero traction from Cumberland to Cambell River, Quadra Island and Hornby Island.

    Day three was cancelled due to torrential rain. The weather cleared a few days after the race, and we rode what would have been the final course, Wakamarina track. This bar at the bottom of the trail would make a great investment for someone, as we surely aren’t the only delirious mountain bikers to stumble in here post-ride and order the whole menu.
