Cowichan 8 Loop 🇨🇦 | Bikepacking Vancouver Island

This short film follows a 3-day bikepacking loop on Vancouver Island, riding the locally famous Cowichan 8, a route originally published on Bikepacking.com. Starting and finishing in Victoria, this ride packs a lot into a short distance: gravel roads, forests, coastal views, and quiet stretches of riding through the Cowichan Valley. A perfect example of how much adventure can fit into just three days and two nights. This was my first time filming a video on such a short trip. A lot of work — but a lot of fun too — experimenting with a more vlog-style approach while staying true to the bikepacking experience.
