This is the inaugural Grand Depart for the Great Northern Bikepacking Route. Ride across the mountains of British Columbia, pedal all the way to the nation's capital Ottawa, or go the whole way to the breezy shores of Newfoundland. Riders can choose the distance they want to travel on the 13,700 kilometre mega-route. A commitment to ride the full route is not required to join the grand depart.
The group departure will occur on Saturday May 24, 2025 at 9am from Beacon Hill in Victoria.
This is not an official race or paid official event. Each rider assumes complete responsibility for their own safety. Riders may ride alone, in pairs, or small groups, it is entirely up to them.
