The Final Frontier


I'm not sure why this years' Tour B.C. route is called 'The Final Frontier' but it sounds cool and as the profile shows it looks awesome. Amber and I always have a fantastic time every year on this tour and this route looks like it won't disappoint. It's a great lead up to IMC and you feel like a rock star on your bike after a week of focused riding in a fun group environment. Plus we both enjoy camping and it usually the only time we can spend a week together away from computers, TV, phone, e-mails, work, etc.

A full week starting in Kamloops making a 758km loop through Salmon Arm, Nakusp, Armstrong, Revelstoke, and back to Kamloops. It's a tough challanging route and some days you just don't feel like riding but you get up early, start riding and feel like you can get through 7 days of this. After riding you relax with other people in the tour, swap stories have fantastic home-made meals and a couple hard earned beers. That's my definition of a great summer.
