Taking leave from the icy temperatures of their native Canada, members of the team behind the BC Bike Race travelled to Jamaica to join the Caribbean nation’s Fat Tyre Festival. The crew captured the colour and vibrance of their experience in the following short film and a stunning photo diary.
Proof that mountain biking – and cycling in general – is a great connector, Dean Payne, Andreas Hestler, Darren Butler and Connor Macleod took their chance to be guided on the ground by locals and explore off the beaten path.
“Mountain biking brings people together and unites different cultures under one experience,” said Hestler, of the experience. “We all share the same passion for exploration whether our backyard or abroad, mountain bikes are our vehicle of choice to take us into the wild and beyond.”
