Trans Canadian Adventure Trail · 2026
One rider. 40,000 km. Every kilometre of the Trans Canada Adventure Trail, verified. Craig Luke is riding solo from Grant Bay, Vancouver Island to St. John's, Newfoundland to remap the TCAT with fresh GPS data.

The greatest adventure route in Canada
The TCAT is the greatest adventure route in Canada. It's also getting stale. Trails get decommissioned. Gates go up. Bridges wash out. Riders following old GPX files end up on private land, dead ends or terrain way past their skill level.
Nobody has ridden the whole thing recently and published clean data. So Craig is doing it. All 40,000 km. Every section logged, verified and graded Green, Blue or Red so riders of every level know exactly what they're getting into.
He's doing it on $50 a day. Not as a stunt. As proof. Adventure riding doesn't need a $30,000 bike and a sponsor-funded film crew. It needs a capable machine, good data and the nerve to leave the driveway.

Want your gear out here?
Most gear gets tested on a two hour loop close to home. This runs 40,000 km across nine provinces over 183 days. Mud, sand, rock, snow and a lot of gravel in between. Nothing about it is staged.
Kove, Turkana, Motoz and Outback Motortek are already on the bike. Every kilometre gets filmed. If something breaks we say so, and if it holds up riders hear it from someone who actually rode it.
