Shrouded by forests so thick, all directional awareness is gone. Take 5 steps off the road and you're lost inside a canvas of trees and green. With the exception of a few meadows and a few  waterside views, Vancouver Island is completely blanketed by 1000 year old Coniferous "big trees."

This ride explores the heart of the Island as we make our way from Port Alberni, up "the Hump," through MacMillan Park and into the coastal town of Qualicum.

Thanks to David for providing a trathelete's perspective on training and staying motivated during the audio narrative!
