Rocky Mountain presents their Staycation

If you’re prone to fits of jealousy, you might not want to watch this. The seasons have started their march towards winter for the northern hemisphere, but rather than head south, the Rocky Mountain team stayed put in British Columbia. As the video below shows, they had a blast.

The accompanying grab from the press release said: “Rocky Mountain’s athletes enjoy traveling all over the world to ride their bikes in unique, beautiful locations. Everywhere they go—from the backcountry of Argentina to the Great Wall of China and countless places in between—they hear people share their dreams of one day riding on our home turf in British Columbia. That’s why this year Thomas Vanderham, Brett Tippie, Geoff Gulevich, Wade Simmons, and Andreas Hestler decided to reinvigorate their love for home by exploring Vancouver Island, just a short ferry ride from our North Vancouver headquarters.

“Fueled by too much coffee in the mornings and too many beers in the evenings, this was a great trip and one that certainly helped reconnect us all to our roots. There’s no question that we’ll be back to continue exploring the island’s rich trail networks and connect with the many amazing people we met along the way. Love the Ride!”

Now, who else wants to hop on the first plane to Canada? (as a related aside, registration for the 2014 BC Bike Race is open) Or perhaps there’s somewhere else you’d love to be riding right now? Let us know where in the comments below.
