COASTLINES: Bikepacking the Sunshine Coast Trail

We’re heading out to bike pack The Sunshine Coast Trail.
As a modified combination of the official routes on BIKEPACKING.COM, we’ll be starting with the Powell River Sampler and then continuing on to the Lower Sunshine Coast Route all the way to Gibsons. (Unfortunately, we had to skip a few sections for time.)
To add an extra challenge, we have a short window to complete the trip (roughly 2 days) and there is an ongoing heatwave in British Columbia. We’ll be putting our Bikepacking Hardtails to their first real test too. We have a lot of experience with Bikepacking on Gravel Bikes, but this sort of trail system will require a different sort of setup and pace. Searing heat, punchy climbs, technical trails, and incredible views all added up together for an unforgettable and appropriately difficult adventure.

Pretty sweet and you are just cementing in why you’re my hero!!

[@ronsanderson99]

I've ridden a number of the Sunshine Coast segments...but as day outings and not laden with bikepacking gear. And yes, the climb up from Earl's Cove is brutal!

[@YetiAdventure]

We can't wait to go back at some point because there were SO many trails that looked like an absolute riot.

Really great video Congrats on pulling off an epic trip! Great to see your faces

[@SaltyBeard_Adventures]

Awesome filming, great dialog & riding. Kudos!! Makes me want to get out there.

[@YetiAdventure]

Thanks you so much! Hope your feet have been recovering nicely since the BC Epic. We're getting excited for more of your adventures soon!

[@jakekostelyk]

I’m never NOT impressed with your rides, and your videos. This one’s awesome!

[@hamishkale1725]

Epic! Such beautiful trails, can't wait too move out there in the new year!

[@pnwbikepacking]

Hell yeah! Great work you two. Loved the new bikes and looks like you both were running pretty lean set ups! Hot uphill single track in the baking sun? Dude this is my kind of route! I was looking at these routes a while ago, its a bit of a schlep from down here in Vancouver, WA, but this video made it look like a ton of fun...I may have to make the trek. Been trying to do an ultralight packout on my full sus Transition Spur and I just got a hip pack. How'd do you like riding with one of those?

[@YetiAdventure]

Thanks Chris! True story: Your work was in many ways the foundation for this trip. The PNW Hip Pack is new to me, but I really didn't mind it at all. Torally forgot i was wearing most of the time. I had the camera, batteries, some snacks and little things like cards and cash in it. Super handy and easy to get to. It was so warm that we were able to pack ultralight super easily. A colder, wetter or longer trip would certainly require a more hearty bag setup. The route is awesome, and I'm sure you'd have an absolute riot if you made the journey. That said: from the looks of it, you have no shortage of mind-blowing routes in your backyard too. One day soon we'd love to come and start exploring!
