I'm headed up to Vancouver on Monday for two weeks, loaded up with road bikes, mountain bikes and climbing gear.

I have a book for mountain biking areas- we'll probably start at Squamish and head out from there.

We're also thinking of b&b touring on road bikes around the Gulf Islands, but don't know much about it.

I'd love to do at least one or two long, hilly, beautiful road rides, but am having trouble finding information online or in the books we have.

Does anyone have advice about biking in SW BC? Road, mtb, touring, the gulf islands, whistler, etc.? Any other general advice? I'd love to hear it- I'm psyched for my first trip up into this part of the world.

Thanks!
Kathryn
