Mat and Ali are avid Canadian bikepackers and outdoor adventure enthusiasts, who inspire others to get outdoors, adventure in nature and become their best selves.

Making History

Mat & Ali are currently riding all 14,000 km of the recently launched,
Great Northern Bikepacking Route.

They left Victoria, British Columbia on May 18th and have been traversing 10 Canadian provinces and 3 United States, planning to end in St. John's, Newfoundland in early fall.

Along the way, they are raising funds and awareness for World Bicycle Relief to help empower others through the power of the bicycle.
