How did you get into the outdoor space?
Being a Professional XC mountain bike racer means a lot of time to enjoy the outdoors.
Always been outdoors; I started with high-performance sports in alpine skiing and quickly transitioned to cycling.
Now, I train and ride full-time and get out in all the weather Vancouver Island offers. Cycling has such a unique connection to the outside. Any given week, I'll find myself in the woods during torrential rain, with mist and fog packing me in; or on the road, rolling down the coast looking at mountains across the straight; or way out there on a logging road in search of the snow-line. With the Sherpa, I can go further, find more, and explore greater. Albeit, my car isn't the typical Rack Attack off-road exploring “rig,” but that's where fitness comes in - when the pavement ends, the biking begins.
Travel/MTB tips and tricks?
If you are carrying mountain bikes, put your dropper post down - your bikes will fit much nicer on the rack!
General cycling tip: EAT! Make Sure you eat on your rides and adventures - carbs. Your day will be much more enjoyable! aha
What's your favourite place you've visited?
One of my favourite places in the world is a small country in the Pyrenees called Andorra. The mountains are huge, accessible, and have a beautiful array of hiking, mountain biking, road biking, and skiing - the whole works.
Locally, I'll never forget the first time I drove the Duffy. A few years later did some camping and riding up there. BC is beautiful!
We're excited to have Peter on our team and continue to support him in all of his adventures! Follow Peter and us on social media if you haven't already to see all the latest updates and things going on in the outdoor world!
Keep up with Peter, and his adventures on Instagram and his website.
