This week I chat with Rob Biron, aka Salty Beard Bikepacking @saltybeardbikepacking about his new route on Vancouver Island, Caves and Coves TT.

Caves and Coves offers a new format for riders in that there are a ton of options on how and when you participate in the event, making it more accessible to more people’s timelines. Rob wanted to show off Vancouver Island in a unique way treating riders to some of the Island’s hidden gems.

We chat about the route, the land struggles that exist on Vancouver Island, the challenges of balancing day-to-day life with that being a content creator, and of course, facial hair management.

Please enjoy, Rob Biron.
