Canadian Border Patrol

Welcome to the Canadian Border Patrol! Almost 800km stretching from the Nighthawk Border crossing to the Roosville Crossing, travelling on as much dirt and backroads as possible. Rideable in either direction, and many points to hop on or off depending on what else you want to do. Towns in this neck of BC are spread out, but there’s lots of opportunities for fuel, food, and lodging…

So, here’s how the map works. The massive route is broken up into smaller tracks based on the type of riding surface and difficulty. And colour-coded for your convenience! 

D-0 Green is paved
D-1 Blue is smooth unpaved
D-2 Red is Rough Unpaved
D-3 Purple is Spicy, Either more technical or has something on it that may be trickier for some rider/bike combinations.

I’m never going to make assumptions about your skill level or enthusiasm, you know you. Always ride to what you’re comfortable with. 

There are waypoints for Camping, fuel, beer, motels, motorcycle shops, food, and cool places to see!!

The route travels through a few different zones, each with their own charm. And passes through a number of smaller communities. Please spend your dollars in the many independent businesses, the more we as riders spend and be a presence, the better it is for all of us in the future…

Ways to Support Craig

A good day on the trail turns into a long night of work. Cards to back up, footage to cut, uploads crawling over whatever signal a small town can spare. Behind that sit the subscriptions, the drives, the fuel and a lot of gas station coffee.

It all runs on donations now. If any of this has saved you a wrong turn or got you out the door, you decide what that was worth. Not everyone can chip in, and that's fine. If you can, it goes straight back into the road.
