Is there a specific route or trail you want to hit up this summer? A distance or fitness goal of some sort? Planning a bicycle tour? Bikepacking?

Please share, I'm curious to see what all of you are getting up to for this summer!

Bike glamping Vancouver to Metchosin this summer with my ๐Ÿ•. Going to do a little kayaking but mostly escaping the incessant noise and pollution of the city for a week. I'm out of shape and worried about the risks (traffic, blocked bike routes, missing the Massey Tunnel Shuttle or ferry, etc.).

Did you find different glamping spots along the route, or find something prepackaged?

I ended up reluctantly getting an AirBNB at the end point and a splurgy actual B&B closer to Schwartz Bay for the second half of the trip. So am doing the full distance on the first day. I found all the accoms prices shocking (compared to a couple of years ago).
