CAMpRADERIE
Everyone agrees that stunning photos of riding amongst snow capped summits and dusty berm shots™ are worthwhile. Throw in a couple pics with someone under moose antlers and folks sitting around a fire . . . and you have a great story. For this trip, we checked all those boxes, but also explored what actually makes a trip great . . . the connection between people. This connection this comes from shared adversities and accomplishments, but also from the quieter times together, especially over meals. When you have ridden a bike all day, there is one thing at the very top of your mind . . . dinner. Why not highlight the meals, camaraderie and all the other camp rituals as much as the riding?
The Trip
The setting was August 2019 in interior BC. There was a float plane shuttle, an alpine lake, wide open spaces, killer single track, wildlife and an amazing base camp at the center. This made for a story rich environment to talk about what actually makes a trip memorable. Helinox and Ortlieb received a pile of assets that have been used on social media, website, etc.
